Call for Papers:

Languages is planning to build the Special Issue "Corpus-Based
Research into the Diversity of Sustainability" which will be edited by
Dr. Sara Laviosa and Dr. Francesco Meledandri

Over the last forty years or so, in a changing world, increasingly
driven by complex dynamics, some key values such as fairness, ethics
and respect have been constantly challenged. Some processes, such as
economics-based processes, have been taken to extremes, leading to
social and cultural repercussions. The idea of sustainability has
emerged amidst these phenomena. Originally put forward at a UN
conference in 1972, the concept of sustainability permeated societies
and governments in the late 1980s, especially in environmental-related
terms. However, the actual achievement of sustainable goals was put
aside in favour of exploitation practices in different spheres.
Sustainability became a synonym of respect for the environment. As
such, its implementation required the development of growth-based
strategies that had a progressive-centred vision. Growth, therefore,
had to be achieved in sustainable ways. Currently, in most language
systems, sustainability is an umbrella term that is used as a driver
for soft-power policies. Thus, beside its pioneering,
environmental-based implications, the term now encompasses several
fields such as economics, finance, policy making, while becoming
noticeable in other realms such as media, science, humanities, and
language. Because of the diversity of fields it embraces,
sustainability is a promising area of research that calls for language
investigations from different perspectives. Given this general
premise, the purpose of the Special Issue of Languages aims at
investigating specific acceptations of the term ‘sustainability’. We
welcome original papers that adopt a corpus-based methodology to
investigate current narratives on different types of diverse
sustainability/ies, including, but not limited to, the following:

Environmental/green sustainability;
Economic sustainability;
Social sustainability;
Cultural sustainability;
Education sustainability;
Sustainability in language/language diversity;
Sustainability in biodiversity;
Tourism sustainability;
Sustainability in science and humanities;
Geopolitical sustainability;
Media sustainability.

We request that, prior to submitting a manuscript, interested authors
initially submit a proposed title and an abstract of 300–500 words
summarizing their intended contribution. Please send it to the Guest
Editors (sara.laviosa at uniba.it; francesco.meledandri at uniba.it) or to
the Languages Editorial Office (languages at mdpi.com). Abstracts will be
reviewed by the Guest Editors for the purposes of ensuring a proper
fit within the scope of the Special Issue. Full manuscripts will
undergo double-blind peer review.
