Journal of Interactional Research in Communication Disorders
Scope & Guideline
Fostering Dialogue in Linguistics and Communication
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Interactional Analysis of Communication Disorders:
The journal emphasizes the study of communication disorders through the lens of interactional practices, exploring how individuals with disorders engage in conversations and social interactions. - Multimodal Communication:
Research in this journal often investigates the use of multimodal communication strategies, including non-verbal cues and alternative communication methods, to understand how individuals with communication disorders express themselves. - Inclusive Practices and Support Strategies:
The journal highlights research on inclusive practices within educational and therapeutic settings, focusing on how to support individuals with communication disorders effectively. - Cultural and Linguistic Diversity:
The scope includes the examination of communication disorders across different cultural and linguistic backgrounds, recognizing the impact of these factors on communication practices and intervention strategies. - Impact of Technology on Communication:
Research on how technological advancements, such as speech-generating devices and online platforms, influence communication practices among individuals with disorders is a key focus area.
Trending and Emerging
- Peer Interaction and Collaboration:
There is a growing emphasis on understanding collaborative behaviors in peer interactions, particularly among children with communication disorders, indicating a shift towards valuing social engagement in therapeutic contexts. - Impact of Technology on Communication Strategies:
Emerging studies are increasingly focusing on how technology, including speech-generating devices and online platforms, facilitates communication for individuals with disorders, underscoring the relevance of digital tools in therapy. - Bilingualism and Multiculturalism in Communication Disorders:
Research exploring bilingualism and the effects of cultural diversity on communication practices is on the rise, reflecting a broader understanding of language use in varied contexts. - Health Behavior Models in Communication Disorders:
The integration of health behavior models to explain communication disorders indicates an emerging trend towards understanding the psychosocial factors that influence communication practices and interventions. - Therapeutic Relationships and Interactional Dynamics:
An increasing focus on the dynamics of therapeutic relationships and their impact on communication outcomes suggests a recognition of the importance of interpersonal interactions in therapy.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Assessment Methods:
There is a noticeable decrease in research focused solely on traditional assessment methods for communication disorders, as the field increasingly emphasizes dynamic and interactional approaches. - General Stuttering Research:
While stuttering remains an important area of study, the specific focus on general aspects of stuttering without a contextual or interactional lens has diminished, as more nuanced approaches are favored. - Atypical Language Development Studies:
Research centered on atypical language development without considering interactional contexts or the social implications of these disorders has become less frequent, reflecting a shift towards more integrated studies. - Single-Disorder Focus:
There has been a decline in publications that focus exclusively on single disorders, with a growing trend towards examining co-occurring conditions and their impact on communication. - Discourse Analysis in Isolation:
The use of discourse analysis as a standalone method has waned, as researchers increasingly combine this method with other qualitative approaches to provide richer insights into communication disorders.
