Scope & Guideline
Bridging Disciplines through Accessible Academic Research
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Dialogical and Discursive Analyses:
The journal frequently employs dialogical and discursive methodologies to analyze texts, speech, and social interactions, drawing from theorists like Mikhail Bakhtin and Michel Foucault. - Literacy and Education:
A strong focus on literacy practices, particularly in educational contexts, is evident. This includes studies on teaching methodologies, literacy technologies, and the sociocultural dimensions of reading and writing. - Multimodality and Communication:
Research on multimodal texts and communication explores how various modes (visual, verbal, etc.) interact and contribute to meaning-making in digital and traditional media. - Cultural and Political Discourse:
The journal addresses the role of language in cultural and political discourse, examining how language influences and reflects power dynamics, ideologies, and social issues. - Interdisciplinary Perspectives:
It promotes interdisciplinary approaches, integrating insights from linguistics, education, sociology, and cultural studies to enhance understanding of language practices.
Trending and Emerging
- Digital Literacy and Pedagogy:
There is a growing emphasis on digital literacy, particularly in the context of online education and the use of digital tools for teaching writing and reading, reflecting the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on educational practices. - Political Discourse and Ideology:
Increased attention to political discourse, particularly in the context of Brazilian politics, is evident. Studies analyze the language of political figures and movements, reflecting societal tensions and ideological divides. - Multimodality in Communication:
Research on multimodal communication is gaining traction, with studies focusing on how multiple modes (text, image, sound) interact in digital contexts, such as social media and advertising. - Identity and Language:
Emerging themes around identity, including discussions on gender, sexuality, and cultural identity, are increasingly prevalent, indicating a focus on how language constructs and conveys personal and collective identities. - Sociodiscursive Interactionism:
The application of sociodiscursive interactionism is becoming a core methodological approach, with researchers exploring how social contexts shape language use and literacy practices.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Literary Analysis:
There seems to be a decline in traditional literary analysis, particularly studies focused solely on canonical texts without a dialogical or sociocultural lens, as the journal increasingly favors contemporary and multimodal approaches. - Static Definitions of Genre:
Research that adheres to rigid definitions of textual genres is less common, indicating a move towards more flexible, context-sensitive approaches that account for intergenericity and evolving communication practices. - Focus on Print Media:
As digital media continues to dominate, there is a noticeable decrease in studies focusing exclusively on print media, suggesting a shift towards examining online and digital discourses. - Historical Linguistic Studies:
The journal's engagement with historical linguistics appears to be diminishing, as contemporary issues and current language practices gain more attention.
