The Association Québécoise de Linguistique is a group of people who are interested in studying language in the province of Quebec, which is a place in Canada where people speak both French and English languages. Think of language like different ways to talk, just like how you might talk differently with your parents or friends.
The Association helps people understand how people use language in different situations, like in schools or on the internet, and in different languages. They also study how languages change over time because people use them differently. For example, some words that were common a long time ago may not be common anymore because people don't use them as much.
The Association brings together people who are interested in language and helps them talk to each other about their ideas and research. This helps people learn more about how language works and how people use it in everyday life. It's like a big group of friends who all like to talk about the same thing and learn more about it together!
