Authors are invited to submit papers for publication in Critical discourse

Studies, a peer-reviewed international journal published by

Routledge-Taylor & Francis.

 

Critical Discourse Studies is an interdisciplinary journal for the social

sciences. Its primary aim is to publish critical research that advances our

understanding of how discourse figures in social processes, social

structures, and social change.

 

The journal has been established in response to the proliferation of

critical discourse studies across the social sciences and humanities. We

will consider for publication papers that meet the needs of scholars in

diverse disciplines and areas of study which develop critical perspectives

on the relationship between discourse and social dynamics.

 

Relevant areas and disciplines include, but are not limited to: anthropology communication cultural studies education ethnic studies gender studies geography history legal studies linguistics literary studies management studies media studies migration studies philosophy political economy political science psychology sociology technology studies urban studies

 

The ediitors also welcome papers which connect critical academic research

with practical concerns and agendas, including those of activist and

grassroots political movements.

 

The scope of critical discourse studies is not limited to linguistic

studies, or articles that are primarily empirical or analytical. Critical

examination of non-linguistic phenomena that take a significant discourse

orientation, as well as theoretical and methodological papers that advance

critical understandings of discursive phenomena, are welcomed.

 

Recognising the diversity, depth, and history of scholarship in the growth

of critical discourse studies, no particular theoretical, disciplinary, or

methodological "schools" or paradigms will be privileged over others in the

selection of papers for publication. The primary criteria for publication

are originality, scholarly rigor, coherence of argument, relevance and

timeliness of research.

 

Critical Discourse Studies encourages contributions from both new and

established scholars. The journal recognises that the new and rapidly

changing social relations of the current age call for new approaches and

new understandings that bridge disciplinary and cultural boundaries.

Therefore the editors strongly encourage the submission of papers that help

us achieve these aims.

 

Critical Discourse Studies aims to be accessible. It aims for papers that

are written clearly, explain key terms and concepts in an accessible way

for readers at many levels, and recognise the needs and interests of its

diverse community of readers.
