The editors welcome articles dealing with language policy, language management, and language use in international organizations, multinational enterprises, etc., and theoretical studies on global communication, language interaction, and language conflict. Articles dealing with language situations in particular countries should have wider theoretical applicability.

Contributions are invited from any discipline in the social sciences and humanities (SSH), even though the language disciplines are central for the journal. Authors proposing papers with an anchoring in other disciplines (e.g. law, economics, psychology, etc.) are invited to pay particular attention to the accessibility of their contribution to a scientific audience with training in a discipline other than their own.

The editors welcome articles in languages other than English.

For a more extensive discussion of the journal’s editorial line, please refer to the Editorial Statement.
