Special Issue on Language, Discourse and Society

Language, Discourse and Society investigates the relationships between language use, communication practices, social structures, and cultural contexts. This field encompasses sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, language variation, multilingualism, language and identity, intercultural communication, pragmatics, and the role of language in shaping social interactions and public discourse. Research in this area aims to understand how language reflects and influences social norms, power relations, cultural values, and collective identities across different communities and institutions. It also addresses contemporary issues such as language policy, digital communication, media discourse, gender and language, linguistic inequality, and the impact of globalization on language practices and social relationships.
