*Call for papers*

*Journal „Sociolinguistics” no 32/2018*

*Issue subject: Minority Languages*

The scholarly journal "Sociolinguistics" invites authors to submit 
articles for next year's issue, which will be published in December 
2018. The yearbook is aimed at all researchers interested in the issues 
concerning the interface between linguistics and other disciplines with 
the humanities, especially sociology, cultural anthropology, literary 
studies and political science.

The forthcoming issue of "Sociolinguistics", 32/2018, will focus 
entirely on the issues of *minority languages in social, cultural and 
political terms*. We are primarily interested in the following issues:

- the status and functioning of minority languages in a broader cultural 
and linguistic environment, the relationship between dominant and 
marginalized languages, including the problem of bilingualism and code 
switching (both between dominant and dominated or between two dominated 
codes);

- linguistic and cultural boundaries, including the social and political 
character of the functioning of languages (both the languages of earlier 
existing minorities and those that emerged recently – as a result of 
migrations);

- ways in which the majority languages dominate minority languages, 
including hegemony of English over other literary languages; minority 
languages in postcolonial perspectives;

- relations between literary languages, dialects and sociolects; the 
process of excluding less prestigious codes, among others the problem of 
dialects' disappearing or their progressive hybridization;

- expansion of commonness as a response to the presence of prestigious 
codes.

The Editorial Office of "Sociolinguistics" encourages submitting 
theoretical as well as material-based papers that refer to all the 
domains of communication. The research reflection may have a linguistic 
inclination (with necessary references to social, cultural and political 
issues) but can also represent sociological, anthropological or 
political perspective (with reference to language and communication).

Original research articles written in either Polish or preferably in 
English as well as reviews and reports’ proposals can be submitted to 
the Editorial Office _by the end of October 2017_ (and the prepared 
texts should be emailed _by the end of December 2017_. The e-mail:
