Description of the journal Languages
Languages (ISSN 2226-471X) is an international, open access scholarly journal whose central concern is the promotion of understanding of the diverse aspects of the world’s languages along four dimensions:
– Languages in the Mind (e.g. psychological and neurobiological perspectives)
– Languages in Space (e.g. geopolitical, sociological, and educational perspectives)
– Languages in Time (including evolutionary, real-time processing, acquisitional and life-span developmental perspectives)
– Languages in Interaction (including perspectives from research on translation, language mixing, cross-language and cross-modal influences and cross-cultural communication)
Languages aims to present discussions and developments of multidisciplinary research and thereby generate broad and practical applications for the study of languages in the world of today. Languages welcomes contributions from scholars and researchers working within any linguistic and theoretical approach. Languages publishes articles, reviews, commentaries, and communications without restrictions on a submission’s length. The working language is English; however, research on all languages is welcome.
