About the Journal

Founded in 1999 Acta Neophilologica is the semi-annual journal of the literary and linguistic departments of the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Poland. Acta Neophilologica publishes scholarly articles dealing with the current problems of modern language studies using a variety of  methodologies and diachronic or synchronic, confrontative and comparative perspectives. The covered topics include linguistics, cultural linguistics, literary studies, foreign language teaching, theory and practice of translation, word culture, language of the media, and other associated subjects.  Both theoretical contributions, such as critical overview of previous results in a specific research area and/or proposals for innovative approaches to a specific topic, as well as contributions presenting the results of own empirical research are accepted. The languages of publication are: English, German, Polish and Russian (although the subject matter is not restricted to these). The journal ensures a double-blind peer-reviewed publication, and it offers open access to the published texts.

The journal was founded on the initiative of the Slavist Prof. Albert Bartoszewicz, who served as editor-in-chief until 2001. The other managing editors were also Slavists Prof. Walenty M. Piłat (until 2004), Prof. Grzegorz Ojcewicz (until 2013), Prof. Iwona Anna NDiaye (until 2014) and Prof. Joanna Orzechowska (until December 2022). The journal has been published biannually since 2012. The editorial team also included PhD Joanna Nawacka. Since 2023, the journal has been led by a new editorial team (see editorial team), which continues the tradition of Acta Neophilologica. The editor-in-chief is now the Germanist and literary scholar Prof. Aneta Jachimowicz.
