Aims and Scopes

The journal 'Russian Linguistics' is dedicated to advancing the understanding of the Russian language through a variety of linguistic lenses. It encompasses a broad spectrum of research areas, focusing on both theoretical and applied aspects of Russian linguistics.
  1. Grammatical Structures and Theories:
    Research on the grammatical frameworks of the Russian language, including syntax, morphology, and semantics. This area explores the complexities and nuances of Russian grammar, often comparing it with other languages.
  2. Sociolinguistics and Language Variation:
    Studies addressing the social aspects of the Russian language, including dialectal variation, language attitudes, and the influence of social factors on language use.
  3. Language Acquisition and Pedagogy:
    Exploration of methods and strategies for teaching and learning Russian as a second language, focusing on cognitive approaches and empirical research to enhance vocabulary learning and grammatical understanding.
  4. Historical Linguistics and Language Change:
    Analysis of the evolution of the Russian language over time, including historical texts and the diachronic study of language structures and vocabulary.
  5. Cognitive Linguistics and Language Processing:
    Investigations into how cognitive processes influence language use and structure in Russian, including the role of mental models and conceptual frameworks in understanding language.
  6. Corpus Linguistics and Data-Driven Studies:
    Utilization of corpora to analyze language use in various contexts, providing empirical evidence for linguistic theories and descriptions.
Recent publications in 'Russian Linguistics' reveal a shift towards innovative and interdisciplinary research themes. These emerging areas highlight the journal’s responsiveness to contemporary linguistic challenges and societal changes.
  1. Cognitive and Experimental Linguistics:
    There is a growing emphasis on cognitive approaches to understanding language, employing experimental methods to investigate how Russian speakers process language. This trend underscores the integration of psychology and linguistics.
  2. Digital Humanities and Linguistic Data:
    The use of digital tools and methodologies, such as corpus linguistics and data analytics, is on the rise, reflecting a broader trend in linguistics towards empirical data-driven research.
  3. Gender and Language Studies:
    An increasing number of studies focus on gender issues within the Russian language, exploring feminative forms and gender-neutral language, driven by societal changes and discussions around gender identity.
  4. Language and Identity:
    Research examining the intersection of language with identity, particularly in sociolinguistic contexts, is becoming more prominent, reflecting current global dialogues about language, ethnicity, and nationalism.
  5. Bilingualism and Language Contact:
    With a focus on bilingual contexts, particularly between Russian and Ukrainian, studies are increasingly addressing the complexities of language contact, code-switching, and language maintenance.

Declining or Waning

While 'Russian Linguistics' continues to explore a wide range of topics, certain themes have shown a decline in frequency or prominence in recent years. These waning scopes reflect a shifting focus in the field.
  1. Traditional Historical Linguistics:
    Research specifically centered on traditional aspects of historical linguistics, such as etymology and phonetic changes, appears to be less frequent, as the journal shifts towards more contemporary and applied linguistic issues.
  2. Prescriptive Grammar Studies:
    Papers focusing solely on prescriptive approaches to grammar, which dictate rules for 'correct' language use, are becoming less common as the field embraces descriptive and empirical methodologies.
  3. Static Language Analysis:
    There is a noticeable reduction in studies that analyze the Russian language in a static manner, emphasizing instead dynamic and context-sensitive analyses that account for variation and change.
  4. Comparative Slavic Linguistics:
    Research comparing Russian with other Slavic languages, while still relevant, has seen a decline as the journal increasingly prioritizes in-depth studies of Russian itself.
