STUDIES</b></i><b><br>
<br>
A new international sociolinguistics journal<br>
<br>
CALL FOR PAPERS<br>
<br>
<i>Sociolinguistic Studies</i></b> is the new title of<i><b> Estudios
de Sociolinguistica</b></i> (<a
href="http://www.sociolinguistica.uvigo.es"
>http://www.sociolinguistica.uvigo.es</a>) a journal founded in 2000
at the University of Vigo (Spain), and indexed/abstracted in the
International Bibliography of the Social Sciences (IBSS); Latindex;
Linguistics Abstracts (LA); Linguistics & Language Behavior
Abstracts (LLBA); MLA International Bibliography; SocINDEX;
Sociological Abstracts; and Bibliographie Linguistique/Linguistic
Bibliography.<br>
<br>
<i><b>Sociolinguistic Studies</b></i> will be published at United
Kingdom by<b> Equinox Publishing House</b> (www.equinoxpub.com). There
are three issues per volume year (April, August, and December), the
first issue, with the new title, is due in April 2007.<br>
<br>
<i><b>Sociolinguistic Studies</b></i> is a peer-reviewed journal in
two formats: online and in hard copy, internationally diffused and
distributed (ISSN: 1750-8649 -hard-, ISSN: 1750-8657 -online).<br>
<br>
<i><b>Sociolinguistic Studies</b></i> offers a linguistic and cultural
bridge between the Romance world -particularly the Spanish and Latin
American world- and the English-speaking world.<br>
<br>
The journal publishes substantial research papers, discussion notes,
reviews and review articles (the Book Review Editor is Aneta Pavlenko,
Temple University), and regularly publishes thematic issues.<br>
<br>
The editors invite contributions in English, Spanish or French (75% of
the contents of the journal are in English).<br>
<br>
Edited in Galicia (Spain), the journal pays special attention to
minority languages and cultures, language contact and change,
linguistic diversity, language revival, shift and loss, language and
social inequalities, and language planning and policy. We consider
that bilingualism and multilingualism is an essential field linking
sociolinguistics with other disciplines (psycholinguistics, linguistic
anthropology, pedagogy, etc.). The journal will also pay special
attention to theoretical and methodological contributions from
sociology, social psychology or anthropology that can give consistency
to the theoretical and methodological principles of sociolinguistics,
and to make known the conceptual evolution in the social sciences
among sociolinguists.<br>
<br>
<i><b>Sociolinguistic Studies</b></i> takes an ecumenical approach to
the different schools, methodological principles or research
orientations within sociolinguistic research and also accepts
contributions from related fields such as pragmatics, discourse
analysis, conversational analysis, interactional linguistics, language
acquisition and socialization, linguistic anthropology,
ethnomethodology and the ethnography of communication.<br>
<br>
Papers should be limited to approximately 7.000 words (Din A4 size),
in Word-PC format. For further details, please contact the journal
Editors. Please send submissions (preferably in electronic format) to
the Editors: Fernando Ramallo (framallo@uvigo.es) and Xoan Paulo
Rodriguez-Yanez (xoanp@uvigo.es).<br>
