The Melbourne Papers in Linguistics and Applied Linguistics (ISSN 1443-6914) was an annual publication produced by postgraduate students to act as a first avenue of publication for work done by emerging linguists and applied linguists. MPLAL was strongly associated with the annual Linguistics and Applied Linguistics Postgraduate Conference, which has since become the School of Languages and Linguistics Postgraduate Conference. Participants in the conference were encouraged to submit their work for publication, however, participation in the conference was not a precondition for being included in MPLAL. Before 2000, the papers were known as the Working Papers in Applied Linguistics.
Back issues of the Papers are available to borrow from selected libraries, including the State Library of Victoria and the Bailieu Library of the University of Melbourne.
