Journal of Multilingual and 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.
