Call for Papers:

Academic Discourse in the Outer and Expanding Circles

The second half of the 20th century witnessed an unprecedented spread of
English outside the countries where it is predominantly a Native Language and
beyond Great Britain's former colonies where it is a Second Language and often
a lingua franca. Braj Kachru's three-circles model tried to capture this
expansion. Kachru referred to the countries where English is a Native Language
as Inner Circle, the countries where it is a Second Language as Outer Circle,
and the countries where it is a Foreign Language as Expanding Circle.

Scholars in the Inner Circle, Developed countries are major contributors to
knowledge, which they formulate and present according to the rhetorical
patterns of their respective disciplinary genres. Most high ranking journals
are published in Developed, Inner Circle countries and most top universities
in the world are American or British; some high quality journals are published
in other European countries; a few are published in China and South Korea; and
hardly any are published in Developing countries. 

However, academic discourse is not completely detached from the socio-cultural
contexts in which it is produced and disseminated. Novice and expert Outer
Circle and Expanding Circle academics have issues with acculturation in the
Inner Circle peers' modes of reasoning, rhetorical practices, and even lexical
and syntactic preferences. 
The proposed Special Issue for Arab Journal of Applied Linguistics welcomes
Studies, Reflections, and Book Reviews on academic discourse, particularly in
Outer and Expanding Circles. 

Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Universality, localism, and power in academic discourse practices
- Innovation, convention, and standardization in academia and in academic
discourse
- Rhetorical patterns and structures in academic discourse genres and
subgenres
- Metadiscourse features in academic discourse genres
- Academic genre and subgenre stability, change, and hybridity
- Stance in and across academic disciplinary genres
- Academic Reading-Writing processes and strategies
- Plagiarism and authenticity in academic discourse 
- Research Publication policies, processes, and strategies

AJAL Special Issue will be published in November 2020 . The Deadline for
typescripts submissions is August 30, 2020. Potential contributors are invited
