Journal of Multilingual & Multicultural Development
The Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development is a cross-disciplinary journal for researchers from diverse scholarly and geographical backgrounds. It is concerned with macro-level coverage of topics in the sociology and social psychology of language, and in language and cultural politics, policy, planning and practice.Authors are encouraged tp reject a defocot view of multilingualism and hence avoid terms such as 'native speaker, non-native speaker' and use neutral terms such as 'L1 user, LX user' instead.
The journal welcomes submissions on the many ramifications of these broad themes:
- Language planning and policy
- Ethnicity and nationalism
- Identity politics (with its linguistic, religious and other markers)
- Languages and cultures in contact
- Intertwinings among language, culture and religion
- Language learning
- Bilingual and multilingual accommodations
- Translation
- Programmes and policies of multiculturalism and pluralism
- Language rights (group and individual)
- “Popular” and folk sociolinguistics and usage
- Reading and literacy
- Contemporary religious and cultural debates
- Collective identity and its “markers”
- Minority-group dynamics
- Educational provisions for languages and cultures
- Endangered languages
Contributions that allow generalisation across settings are particularly welcome, as are those that embed the discussion in social and historical context.
