Cette revue entend refléter les différents champs de recherche de l'équipe, à savoir l'étude des mondes anglophones, dans une perspective culturelle, littéraire et linguistique, sans pour autant s'y limiter. Cette revue scientifique à comité de lecture est destinée avant tout à un lectorat averti (chercheurs, doctorants, étudiants de master). Leaves est ouverte sur la communauté des anglicistes, des américanistes et des linguistes. Elle a vocation à accueillir les contributions originales de chercheurs français ou étrangers, sous forme de dossiers thématiques ou d'articles hors thème, afin de permettre une stimulante diversité. Des textes de conférences prononcées par des chercheurs invités ou des interviews d'auteurs pourront aussi faire l'objet de publication. Des numéros spéciaux peuvent être, à l'occasion, programmés en sus des parutions semestrielles.
