Llengua, societat i comunicació és una revista electrònica de periodicitat anual, publicada entre novembre i desembre de cada any, que té l'objectiu de transferir a la societat el coneixement interdisciplinari entre llengua-comunicació i societat. Atès que l'àmbit en què es mou la revista és interdisciplinari i molt sovint les àrees que s'hi aborden estan incomunicades, el propòsit central de la revista és presentar estats de la qüestió sobre diferents connexions entre la llengua, la comunicació i la societat en un sentit ampli. Paraules clau: filologia, sociolingüística, lingüística, lingüística aplicada, sociologia de la llengua, dret lingüístic, política lingüística, educació plurilingüe, comunicació.
