Trending and Emerging
- Ecocriticism and Environmental Narratives:
There is a growing interest in ecocriticism, with publications exploring the intersections of literature and sustainability. This trend reflects a broader societal concern for environmental issues and the role of literature in addressing them. - Postcolonial and Diasporic Studies:
Recent themes indicate a robust engagement with postcolonial studies, particularly narratives that explore migration and identity in a globalized world. This focus underscores the importance of understanding cultural dynamics in contemporary contexts. - Gender and Feminist Theories:
The journal is increasingly publishing works that interrogate gender and feminist theories, particularly in relation to literature. This trend reflects a commitment to exploring complex gender dynamics and their representation in modern texts. - Digital Humanities and New Media:

Declining or Waning
- Traditional Literary Canon:
There seems to be a waning focus on traditional literary canons, with fewer papers engaging directly with classic texts or authors without connecting them to contemporary themes or issues. - Historical Linguistics:
Research centered around historical linguistics and the evolution of language appears to be less frequently represented, suggesting a move away from diachronic studies in favor of more topical, contemporary analyses. - Purely Theoretical Linguistics:
Theoretical linguistics, particularly in its more abstract forms, is receiving less attention, as the journal's recent publications lean more towards applied linguistics and contextualized studies. - Local Cultural Narratives:
There is a noticeable decline in the exploration of localized cultural narratives, particularly those not connected to broader global themes or movements, indicating a shift towards more universal topics. - Static Gender Roles in Literature:
Analysis of static gender roles in literature is becoming less prominent, with the journal increasingly focusing on dynamic and intersectional approaches to gender and identity.
