NEW JOURNAL

Journal of Language and Politics

Edited by Ruth Wodak and Paul Chilton

Call for Papers

The JOURNAL OF LANGUAGE AND POLITICS represents a forum for analysing and
discussing the various dimensions in the interplay of language and politics.
The basic assumption is that the language of politics cannot be separated
from the politics of language. The notion of 'Political Discourse' does not
remain limited to the 'institutional' field of politics (e.g. parliamentary
discourse, election campaigns, party programmes, speeches, etc.) but opens
to all linguistic manifestations that may be considered to be political,
provided that it is convincingly argued what makes them 'political'. In
order to illuminate new and old forms of political discourses inter- and
transdisciplinary perspectives and elaborated linguistic methodologies have
to complement each other.
Articles should bring together sociological concepts, political theories,
and historical analysis. Methodologies can be qualitative or quantitative
and must be well grounded in linguistics or other relevant disciplines. They
may focus on different dimensions (pragmatics, semantics, social cognition,
semiotics) of political discourse. Since political discourses overlap with
other discourses, e.g. economic and scientific discourses, perspectives of
interdiscursivity and intertextuality are considered to be important.
Articles based on ethnographic studies will be particularly welcome.

The Editors invite relevant contributions.

 Guidelines for Contributors to Journal of Language and Politics
1.      AUTHORS are invited to initially submit an abstract of their contribution
preferably via email to both editors.
2.      MANUSCRIPT submissions should be accompanied by a biographical note
(50-75 words), an abstract (100-150 words), a short list of key words, and
the author(s)' full name and address.
3.      Manuscripts may be submitted as email attachments if they do not contain
unusual fonts. Otherwise two hard copies should be sent to both editorial
addresses. Upon acceptance the author will be requested to submit the final
version as email attachment or on disk, saved in a standard word processing
format and in ASCII, and two hard copies of the text.
4.      Papers may have approximately 8000 words and should be reasonably
divided into SECTIONS and, if necessary, sub-sections.
5.      Contributions should be in English. Spelling should be either British or
American English consistently throughout. If not written by a native speaker
of English it is advisable to have the paper checked by a native speaker.
6.      Line drawings (FIGURES) and photographs (PLATES) should be submitted in
camera-ready form or as TIFF or EPS files accompanied by a hard copy. They
should be numbered consecutively, with appropriate captions. Reference to
any Figures or Plates should be made in the main text and their desired
position should be indicated on the printout.
7.      TABLES should be numbered consecutively and provided with appropriate
captions. They should be referred to in the main text and their desired
position should be indicated on the printout.
8.      QUOTATIONS should be given in double quotation marks. Quotations longer
than 4 lines should be indented with a blank line above and below the quoted
text.
9.      EXAMPLES should be numbered with Arabic numerals in parentheses and set
apart from the main body of the text with a blank line above and below.
Examples from languages other than Modern English should appear in italics
with a  translation in single quotes immediately below each such example. If
required, a word-by-word gloss (without quotes) may be provided between the
example phrase and the translation. Relevant data in the original language
can be added in an Appendix.
10.     FOOTNOTES should be kept to a minimum. They should be numbered
consecutively throughout the text in square brackets or superscript. They
should be listed in a section 'Notes' following the main text. The notes
should not contain reference material if this can be absorbed in the text
and list of references.
11.     REFERENCES in the text should be as precise as possible, giving page
references where necessary; for example: (Brinton 1996: 37). All references
in the text should appear in the list of References.
12.     The REFERENCES should follow the Notes. References should be listed (1)
alphabetically and (2) chronologically. Names of journals should be given in
full with page references. Please pay special attention to the use of
capitals, italics and punctuation marks given in the following examples:
