Call for Papers:

The Journal of Language and Discrimination invites researchers working
on language and marginalization to submit an article for its thematic
issue to be published in 2026. The guest editors are Marie-Eve
Bouchard and Annabelle Glas (The University of British Columbia,
Canada).

Marginalization is a pervasive phenomenon in contemporary societies,
characterized by the social exclusion and sidelining of certain
individuals or groups, depriving them of equal access to resources,
opportunities and fundamental rights (UN, 2014). This complex process
can result from a variety of factors such as race, ethnicity, class,
gender, sexual orientation and language. Language is certainly an
indicator of marginalization, but it also plays a crucial role in the
processes of marginalization. In fact, we use language to consciously
and unconsciously perpetuate marginalization, as well as to resist it.

The concept of marginalization that we want to adopt in this special
issue is understood as a process that responds to a dual logic,
following the Bakhtinian notion of dialogism, which emphasizes the
continuous acts of communication between the self and the other in a
ceaseless attempt to position oneself (Bakhtin 1981, Bos 2008). On the
one hand, it is inscribed in power and status relationships and may
therefore involve both inclusion and exclusion on the part of dominant
and dominated individuals, those within the norm or in the margins. On
the other hand, it presupposes active cooperation between these two
groups. The position of the marginalized is recognized in the dominant
discourse, where it is even functional; marginalization is a constant
dialogue between the one who marginalizes and the marginalized
(Bourdieu 1992, Bos 2008). It is not a question of studying the margin
as such but of understanding how it is constitutive of the center, how
both are constructed, defined, and evolve, and how this dialogue is
central to our understanding of reality (Bailly 1994; Barel 1982;
Bourdieu 1992; Bos 2008; Rocher 1971; Wacquant 2008).
That being said, marginalization has not been theorized in
sociolinguistics. The concept is generally used as part of the
umbrella term discrimination. It is to fill this gap that this special
issue is dedicated to the in-depth exploration of the relationship
between language and marginalization. Through several analytical axes,
we aim to explore the various ways in which language can be a factor
in marginalization, a tool in marginalization processes, and at the
same time, a subversive force capable of challenging oppressive norms
and defying power structures.

For this issue, we invite submissions that address language-based
marginalization from a variety of perspectives, including, but not
limited to, the following topics:
- How language choice affects marginalized people
- The use of language in the processes of marginalization
- Linguistic strategies and resistance to marginalization
- Language policy as a tool for marginalization
- Marginalized languages, marginalized people
- Language ideologies and marginalization
- Deconstructing biases around marginalization
- Marginalizing language practices
- Identity-based strategies to resist language-based marginalization
- Contesting marginalization

Articles may come from sociolinguistics, applied linguistics,
linguistic anthropology, education, sociology, or any other related
discipline.

The timeline is as follows:
- Abstract submission: June 1, 2024
- Notification and invitation to submit an article: June 14, 2024
- Final deadline for submission of article: September 15, 2024
- Peer review, notifications, and revisions: From October 2024 to
April 2025
- Estimated publication time of issue: 2026
