Declining or Waning
- Historical Linguistic Studies:
Research focusing on historical aspects of the Catalan language, such as its development and historical usage patterns, appears to be less frequent in recent publications, indicating a possible shift towards more contemporary sociolinguistic issues. - Language and Tourism:
The intersection of language and tourism, while still relevant, has seen fewer focused studies compared to previous years, suggesting a waning interest in this aspect of sociolinguistics within the journal. - Language and Gender Studies:
Although gender remains an important topic, specific studies examining the intersection of language and gender in detail have decreased, possibly indicating a broader integration of gender perspectives into other sociolinguistic themes rather than standalone studies.
