A significant focus is placed on multimodal communication, examining how various semiotic resources (like gestures, images, and texts) combine to create meaning in communicative practices. - Interpersonal Communication:
Research often investigates interpersonal communication strategies, including how individuals negotiate meaning, manage relationships, and construct identities through language. - Cultural and Contextual Influences:
The journal regularly addresses the influence of cultural and contextual factors on language use, analyzing how discourse varies across different social and cultural settings. - Educational Discourse:
Educational contexts are frequently examined, particularly how language is utilized in teaching and learning processes, including the roles of teachers and students in classroom interactions. - Critical Discourse Studies:
The journal contributes to critical discourse studies by analyzing power relations, ideologies, and social issues as they manifest in language use across various discourses.
Trending and Emerging
- Digital Communication and AI Interaction:
There is a growing interest in how digital platforms and artificial intelligence shape communication, particularly in customer service contexts, reflecting the increasing integration of technology in everyday interactions. - Embodied Communication:
Emerging research highlights the significance of embodied communication, exploring how movement, gestures, and non-verbal cues contribute to meaning-making in various settings, including classrooms and social interactions. - Health Communication:
The journal is increasingly addressing health communication, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, analyzing how language influences public understanding and compliance with health guidelines. - Critical Discourse Analysis of Social Issues:

Emerging themes also include multimodal literacy in educational contexts, highlighting how learners engage with multiple modes of communication and the implications for teaching practices.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Linguistic Structures:
There is a noticeable decline in research focusing on traditional linguistic structures and grammar, as the journal increasingly prioritizes discourse and interactional dynamics over structural analyses. - Historical Linguistic Studies:
Studies that concentrate on historical linguistics or diachronic analyses of language are becoming less frequent, possibly overshadowed by contemporary discourse practices and their implications. - Quantitative Approaches:
Quantitative methodologies, which once featured more prominently, are now less common, as qualitative and mixed-method approaches gain traction in exploring language in use. - Localised Language Use:
Research focused solely on localized or regional language use appears to be waning, with a broader emphasis on global communication practices and cross-cultural interactions emerging instead.
