Aims and Scopes

Linguistica Pragensia is dedicated to advancing the understanding of linguistic phenomena through a diverse range of topics and methodologies. It explores the intricacies of language in various contexts, drawing from both historical and contemporary perspectives.
  1. Linguistic Typology and Variation:
    The journal examines the structural and functional aspects of different languages, focusing on typological comparisons and the variation found within and across linguistic systems.
  2. Sociolinguistics and Language in Context:
    Research often addresses the impact of social factors on language use, including the influence of urban settings, cultural interactions, and foreign language acquisition.
  3. Historical Linguistics:
    A significant area of focus includes historical developments in language, such as diachronic studies that trace changes over time in syntax, morphology, and semantics.
  4. Language Teaching and Learning:
    The journal frequently publishes studies on second language acquisition and pedagogical strategies, emphasizing the practical implications of linguistic research for educational contexts.
  5. Word Formation and Lexical Studies:
    Contributions often explore processes of word formation, including neologisms, anglicisms, and the dynamics of lexical borrowing across languages.
Recent publications in Linguistica Pragensia highlight several emerging themes that reflect current linguistic trends and research interests. These themes indicate a progressive shift towards contemporary issues in language use and acquisition.
  1. Multimodality and Language:
    There is an increasing focus on how language interacts with other modalities, such as gesture and prosody, illustrating the complexity of communication beyond verbal expressions.
  2. Language and Technology:
    Emerging themes related to the impact of technology on language, including the adaptation of neologisms in response to digital communication, are becoming more prominent.
  3. Interlanguage Studies:
    Research on interlanguage phenomena, particularly how bilingual speakers navigate and negotiate their linguistic identities, is gaining traction, reflecting the realities of global language use.
  4. Cultural Linguistics:
    The exploration of how language reflects and shapes cultural identities is on the rise, emphasizing the interplay between language and socio-cultural contexts.
  5. Pedagogical Innovations:
    There is a growing interest in innovative teaching methodologies for second language acquisition, particularly in the context of online and hybrid learning environments.

Declining or Waning

While Linguistica Pragensia covers a broad range of linguistic topics, certain themes appear to be less prominent in recent publications, suggesting a potential shift in focus or a waning interest in these areas.
  1. Traditional Grammar Studies:
    There is a noticeable decline in papers focused solely on prescriptive grammar rules and traditional grammar frameworks, indicating a shift towards more descriptive and functional approaches.
  2. Static Language Descriptions:
    Research that solely describes language features without considering sociolinguistic or contextual factors is becoming less common, reflecting a trend towards more dynamic analyses.
  3. Historical Textual Analysis:
    While historical linguistics remains relevant, studies focused narrowly on the analysis of archaic texts without broader implications for contemporary language use are appearing less frequently.
