The Association québécoise de linguistique (AQL - Quebec Linguistic Society) is an academic organization devoted to the scientific study of human language, and is a professional society for Francophone linguistic researchers in North America and beyond.

The AQL was formed in 1981. The first executive was formed by Normand Beauchemin as president, Henri Wittmann as vice-president, and Robert Fournier as secretary-general.

The journal RQLTA

The official journal of the AQL is RQLTA, the Revue québécoise de linguistique théorique et appliquée, which publishes articles reporting research in all the major subdisciplines of linguistics, as well as book reviews and a variety of other communications. The first editor of the journal has been Henri Wittmann. Under his editorship which extended over almost twenty years, the journal published some of the major research results on Quebec French. RQLTA is the only research journal in linguistics which publishes its articles exclusively in French.

Annual conference

The AQL holds an annual linguistics conference every year on alternating campuses throughout Quebec and French Canada, usually in conjunction with ACFAS.
