> 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.
