*Call for papers*

*Journal „Sociolinguistics” no 32/2018*

*Issue subject: Minority Languages*



The scholarly journal "Sociolinguistics" invites authors to submit articles
for next year's issue, which will be published in December 2018. The
yearbook is aimed at all researchers interested in the issues concerning
the interface between linguistics and other disciplines with the
humanities, especially sociology, cultural anthropology, literary studies
and political science.

The forthcoming issue of "Sociolinguistics", 32/2018, will focus entirely
on the issues of *minority languages in social, cultural and political
terms*. We are primarily interested in the following issues:

- the status and functioning of minority languages in a broader cultural
and linguistic environment, the relationship between dominant and
marginalized languages, including the problem of bilingualism and code
switching (both between dominant and dominated or between two dominated
codes);

- linguistic and cultural boundaries, including the social and political
character of the functioning of languages (both the languages of earlier
existing minorities and those that emerged recently – as a result of
migrations);

- ways in which the majority languages dominate minority languages,
including hegemony of English over other literary languages; minority
languages in postcolonial perspectives;

- relations between literary languages, dialects and sociolects; the
process of excluding less prestigious codes, among others the problem of
dialects' disappearing or their progressive hybridization;

- expansion of commonness as a response to the presence of prestigious
codes.

The Editorial Office of "Sociolinguistics" encourages submitting
theoretical as well as material-based papers that refer to all the domains
of communication. The research reflection may have a linguistic inclination
(with necessary references to social, cultural and political issues) but
can also represent sociological, anthropological or political perspective
(with reference to language and communication).

Original research articles written in either Polish or preferably in
English as well as reviews and reports’ proposals can be submitted to the
Editorial Office *by the end of October 2017* (and the prepared texts
should be emailed *by the end of December 2017*. The e-mail:
socjolingwistyka at ijp.pan.pl

preparation (style sheet) can be found at: *socjolingwistyka.ijp.pan.pl/en
