Declining or Waning

While RAEL continues to publish diverse studies, certain themes appear to be diminishing in prominence over the years. The following areas reflect a waning interest among researchers.
  1. Traditional Grammar Studies:
    There seems to be a decline in papers focused solely on traditional grammar analyses, as the journal shifts towards more applied and technology-driven linguistic research.
