The journal "LiNGUA" was established by the Decree of the Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Culture at UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang, Number: Un.3.4/KP.01.1/89/2005, dated October 10, 2005. It focuses on developing linguistic and language sciences, as well as literature, among academics who are experts in their fields. LINGUA was accredited “B” in 2009 by DIKTI, with certificate number 83/DIKTI/Kep/2009. Through the publication of scientific articles, the Faculty of Humanities at Universitas Islam Negeri Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang contributes to the community by disseminating the results of academic research.
