Full Title: Arab Journal of Applied Linguistics 


Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics 

Call for Papers:

Inner Circle, Developed countries have maintained their linguistic, economic,
and scientific supremacy. Aside from some accent variations and code mixing,
Inner Circle Standard English is expected in most academics' spoken discourse
genres. And since the written form is devoid of accent and intonation, written
academic discourse is expected to be in no variety other than the Standard
one. Scholars in these 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, such as Germany, Sweden, and The
Netherlands; a few are published in China and South Korea; and hardly any are
published in Developing countries. The Inner Circle has maintained its
''glamour'' for academics, even for those who are working in prestigious
universities and research centres based in Emerging or Developing countries.
''World Englishes'' has gained acceptance by teachers and sociolinguists, but
it is dispreferred even in informal academic settings and unacceptable across
a large number of academic discourse genres.
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. Academic Discourse covers Genres such as:
Research Article, Book Review, Thesis, Presentation, Thesis Defense, Thesis
Report, Lecture, Tutorial, Flipped Classroom, Letter of Intent, Letter of
Recommendation, Supervisor-Supervisee Interaction, and Referee Report. 
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.
Arab Journal of Applied Linguistics Special Issue on Academic Discourse in the
Outer and Expanding Circles will be published as soon as we receive good
quality papers from the Three Circles.
