Second call for abstracts Language Policy special issue on English-medium publishing

[Curry, Mary Jane]

CALL FOR PAPERS

 

Participating in Academic Publishing: 

Consequences of Linguistic Policies and Practices

 

Language Policy journal is planning a thematic issue on how policies at
local, national, and transnational levels are enacting and enforcing the
high status of English academic publishing and the impact of such
policies on scholars and students, research and teaching, and
institutional practices in different geographical contexts. English is
often viewed as the lingua franca of scholarly publishing in many
disciplines, particularly in the sciences and social sciences. The rise
of English as the presumed global medium of scholarly publication has
resulted in both obvious and less obvious consequences for individual
scholars and for the enterprise of knowledge production. We invite
empirical and theoretical papers that examine the effects and enactments
of these policies and explore the consequences for knowledge making
globally.

 

Deadline for abstracts: April 15, 2011

 

For consideration for this issue, please send an abstract of up to 300
words to Mary Jane Curry (mjcurry at warner.rochester.edu), who will
co-edit the issue with Theresa Lillis. For empirical papers, the
abstract should identify the geolinguistic context of the research, the
research question/focus, the theoretical framing, and a synopsis of
findings. For theoretical papers, the abstract should describe the issue
under consideration, the theoretical framing, and the conclusions to be
drawn. If the abstract is accepted, you will be invited to submit a
paper due January 1, 2012, which will undergo normal peer review
procedures. The issue is scheduled for publication in early 2013.
Language Policy is a peer-reviewed journal included in the Institute for
Scientific Information (ISI) database.
