LINGUA FRANCA

For the linguistic concept, see Lingua franca.

Lingua Franca was a magazine about intellectual and literary life in the academy. It was where the Sokal Affair was first revealed and its editors later published a book (The Sokal Hoax) of selected papers on the subject.

The magazine folded in the 2001 economic downturn. The following year, editor Alexander Star published the collection Quick Studies: The Best of Lingua Franca.
