John Benjamins is pleased to announce that as of volume 12:2 (2019) Lieselotte
Brems (University of Liège), Bernard De Clerck (Ghent University) and Frederik
Van Dam (Radboud University) will succeed Gaëtanelle Gilquin (University of
Louvain) and Lieven Vandelanotte (University of Namur) as editors of the
journal English Text Construction. Gaëtanelle Gilquin and Lieven Vandelanotte
will remain member of the board.

English Text Construction is an internationally refereed journal of English
Linguistics, Applied Linguistics and Literary Studies focusing on the
communicating subject and the text constructing this intersubjective
communication. The journal offers a forum for currently converging tendencies
that place the text-constructing subject in centre stage. This general common
denominator subsumes fundamental movements in the three disciplines of English
studies, viz. literary studies, linguistics and applied linguistics. In
literary studies narratological perspectives remain of abiding interest, as
well as study of the psychologically and ideologically fragmented subject as
it reveals itself in literary texts. The study of literature is currently also
witnessing renewed interest in the gendered and sociopolitically situated
subject and its moral responsibilities. In linguistics, the communicating
subject is central to functional, cognitive and pragmatic approaches.
Functional linguistics investigates how language is used to communicate about
the world and to negotiate the social and discourse roles. Cognitive
linguistics studies language usage as it constructs the perspectivized
meanings of the conceptualizing subject. Pragmatic approaches focus on the
whole message, both the linguistically predicated and the contextually implied
one, exchanged between the interlocutors. In Applied linguistics, the subject
also plays a central role. Applied linguistic interest in text and the
construal of subjectivity is reflected, among others, in genre-oriented
approaches to text, and in discourse-oriented and corpus-based analyses as the
basis for various ELT applications. For instance, considerable attention has
been devoted to issues such as stance in (research) writing and presentations,
and to subjectivity in translation studies. Similarly, in language teaching
methodology increased attention is given to individual learners and learning
styles.
