Aims and Scopes

The journal 'Treballs de Sociolinguistica Catalana' is dedicated to exploring the intricate relationship between language and society within the Catalan context. Its primary focus is to contribute to the understanding of sociolinguistic phenomena, particularly regarding the Catalan language and its interactions with other languages and dialects in diverse settings.
  1. Sociolinguistic Dynamics of Catalan:
    The journal emphasizes the study of Catalan sociolinguistics, examining how language use reflects and influences social identities, power dynamics, and cultural practices within Catalonia and its diaspora.
  2. Language Policy and Education:
    A significant focus is placed on language policies, especially in educational contexts, analyzing how these policies affect language use, maintenance, and revitalization efforts in schools and communities.
  3. Multilingualism and Language Contact:
    The journal explores multilingualism, particularly in the Catalan context, studying the interactions between Catalan and other languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, and indigenous languages, as well as the implications of these interactions.
  4. Linguistic Attitudes and Identity:
    Research on linguistic attitudes, identity formation, and the ideologies surrounding language use is a core theme, focusing on how these factors shape individual and collective experiences within multilingual communities.
  5. Revitalization and Language Maintenance:
    The journal contributes to discussions on linguistic revitalization, examining strategies and challenges faced by minority languages, particularly in the context of Catalan, as well as the socio-political factors influencing these processes.
Recent publications in 'Treballs de Sociolinguistica Catalana' reflect emerging themes and trends that highlight the evolving nature of sociolinguistic research in Catalonia. These trends indicate a growing interest in contemporary issues surrounding language use and policy.
  1. Translanguaging Practices:
    There is an increasing focus on translanguaging, particularly in educational contexts, which reflects a shift towards understanding how speakers utilize multiple languages fluidly in their communication and learning.
  2. Impact of Immigration on Language Dynamics:
    Recent studies have emphasized the experiences of immigrant communities and their linguistic practices, highlighting the impact of migration on language use, identity, and intergenerational language transmission.
  3. Digital Linguistics and Language Technology:
    Emerging themes include the role of digital platforms in language use and policy, as well as the implications of technology on language learning and maintenance, reflecting the integration of digital contexts into sociolinguistic research.
  4. Language Policy in Multilingual Contexts:
    Research on language policy, especially concerning multilingual education and its effects on language maintenance and identity, has become more prominent, indicating a growing interest in how policies shape linguistic landscapes.
  5. Linguistic Attitudes and Ideologies:
    There is a notable trend towards exploring linguistic attitudes and ideologies, particularly concerning minority languages and their speakers, as researchers seek to understand the societal impacts of these perceptions.

Declining or Waning

While the journal covers a broad range of sociolinguistic topics, certain themes have shown a decline in frequency or prominence in recent publications. This may reflect shifting research interests or changes in the sociolinguistic landscape of Catalonia.
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
