Aims and Scopes

The journal 'FRANCAIS MODERNE' focuses primarily on the intricate relationships between language, society, and culture within the Francophone world. It aims to provide a platform for scholarly discussion on various linguistic phenomena, particularly those relating to the French language, its grammar, and its sociolinguistic dynamics.
  1. Linguistic Policy and Planning:
    The journal explores the impact of linguistic policies on the French language and its variants, particularly in regions like Flanders and the Indian Ocean islands, emphasizing the role of language in governance and cultural identity.
  2. Sociolinguistics and Inclusive Language:
    A consistent focus on how sociocultural factors influence language use, including discussions on inclusive language practices and the feminization of language in Francophone societies.
  3. Historical and Diachronic Linguistics:
    The journal investigates the evolution of the French language through diachronic studies, including historical grammar and the development of linguistic structures over time.
  4. Grammatical Studies and Terminology:
    It delves into the methodologies of grammar teaching, terminological choices in linguistics, and the development of grammatical terminologies, reflecting on both traditional and contemporary approaches.
  5. Digital Textualities and New Media:
    The journal addresses the intersection of language and technology, focusing on how digital contexts reshape textual practices and the implications for linguistic studies.
Recent publications in 'FRANCAIS MODERNE' highlight several emerging themes that reflect current linguistic and sociocultural dynamics in the Francophone world. These trends indicate a responsive adaptation of the journal's scope to contemporary issues.
  1. Inclusive Linguistics:
    The rise of discussions around inclusive language practices showcases a growing awareness and response to sociocultural changes, emphasizing the importance of language in promoting equality and representation.
  2. Language and Identity:
    An increasing number of papers explore the relationship between language and identity, particularly in multilingual contexts, highlighting how language shapes and reflects cultural identities.
  3. Digital Linguistics:
    There is a significant trend towards studying the impact of digital media on language, including how digital textualities influence writing practices, language evolution, and communication styles.
  4. Policy and Language Rights:
    Emerging discussions on language rights and policies reflect a critical engagement with how language is regulated and promoted in various sociopolitical contexts, particularly within Francophone regions.
  5. Interdisciplinary Approaches to Linguistics:
    A trend towards interdisciplinary research, integrating insights from fields such as sociology, history, and digital humanities, indicates a broadening of the journal's analytical frameworks.

Declining or Waning

While 'FRANCAIS MODERNE' maintains a robust focus on various linguistic domains, some themes appear to be waning in prominence. This decline reflects shifts in research priorities and the evolving landscape of linguistic inquiry.
  1. Traditional Linguistic Structures:
    There seems to be a declining emphasis on purely traditional analyses of linguistic structures without sociocultural context, as newer studies increasingly incorporate social dimensions into their analyses.
  2. Cross-Linguistic Comparisons:
    The journal has shown a reduced focus on comparative linguistics between French and other languages, which was once a more prominent theme, possibly due to a shift towards more localized studies.
  3. Historical Linguistic Phenomena:
    Although historical studies remain relevant, the frequency of papers dedicated solely to historical linguistics has decreased, indicating a shift towards contemporary applications of linguistics.
  4. Narrowly Defined Grammatical Topics:
    Research that focuses narrowly on specific grammatical rules or constructs without broader implications for language use or policy appears to be declining, as the journal favors more integrative approaches.
  5. Static Language Analysis:
    The analysis of language as a static entity has become less prevalent, with a growing interest in dynamic and contextualized approaches to understanding language use.
