About

The Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development is a cross-disciplinary journal for researchers from diverse scholarly and geographical backgrounds. It is concerned with macro-level coverage of topics in the sociology and social psychology of language, and in language and cultural politics, policy, planning and practice.Authors are encouraged tp reject a defocot view of multilingualism and hence avoid terms such as 'native speaker, non-native speaker' and use neutral terms such as 'L1 user, LX user' instead. The journal welcomes submissions on the many ramifications of these broad themes: -Language planning and policy- Ethnicity and nationalism- Identity politics (with its linguistic, religious and other markers)- Languages and cultures in contact- Intertwinings among language, culture and religion- Language learning- Bilingual and multilingual accommodations- Translation- Programmes and policies of multiculturalism and pluralism- Language rights (group and individual)- “Popular” and folk sociolinguistics and usage- Reading and literacy- Contemporary religious and cultural debates- Collective identity and its “markers”- Minority-group dynamics- Educational provisions for languages and cultures- Endangered languages. Contributions that allow generalisation across settings are particularly welcome, as are those that embed the discussion in social and historical context. The Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development is a peer-reviewed academic journal covering the study of topics in the sociology and social psychology of language, in language and cultural politics, policy, planning, and practice. The editor-in-chief is John Robert Edwards. It was established in 1980 and is published in 7 issues per year by Routledge.
