Language and Intercultural Communication
Call for articles
Manuscripts of articles are invited for the journal, Language and Intercultural
Communication, published by Multilingual Matters.
The journal aims to promote an understanding of the relationship between
language and intercultural communication. It welcomes research into
intercultural communication, particularly where it explores the importance of
linguistic aspects; and research into language, especially the learning of
foreign languages, where it explores the importance of intercultural
dimensions. It is alert to the implications for education, especially higher
education, and for language learning and teaching. It is also receptive to
research on the frontiers between languages and cultures, and on the
implications of linguistic and intercultural issues for the world of work.
The journal articulates a perception of the intercultural dimension in language,
within a complex and pluralist view of the world. It is resistant to reductive or
hegemonic interpretations, and seeks to explore new ways of understanding
intercultural relationships. Its aspiration to promote an understanding of the
relationship between language and intercultural communication is conceived
as a contribution to personal development and to international understanding,
dialogue and co-operation.
The journal seeks to make an effective contribution to disseminating new
ideas and examples of good practice in educating students in language and
intercultural communication, so that they may make their fullest contribution
to the world and derive the maximum satisfaction from it.
Manuscripts should not exceed 7,000 words (including tables, figures and
references), and should be prepared according to the guidelines of the
American Psychological Association (APA), 4th edition. Further details can

by 30 June 2002 to the Editors: Michael Kelly and Alice Tomic, LAIC,
