The Journal of Language and Politics (JLP) represents an interdisciplinary and critical forum for analysing and discussing the various dimensions in the interplay between language and politics. It locates at the intersection of several social science disciplines including communication and media research, linguistics, discourse studies, political science, political sociology or political psychology. It focuses mainly on the empirically-founded research on the role of language and wider communication in all social processes and dynamics that can be deemed as political. Its focus is therefore not limited to the ’institutional’ field of politics or to the traditional channels of political communication but extends to a wide range of social fields, actions and media (incl. traditional and online) where political and politicised ideas are linguistically and discursively constructed and communicated.

Articles submitted to JLP should bring together social theory, sociological concepts, political theories, and in-depth, empirical, communication- and language-oriented analysis. They have to be problem-oriented and rely on well-informed contemporary as well as historical contextualisation of the analysed social and political dynamics. Methodologies can be qualitative, quantitative or mixed, but must in any case be systematic and anchored in relevant social science disciplines. They may focus on various dimensions of political communication in general and of political language/discourse in particular.

Co-Editors Aurelien Mondon and Michelle Lazar take care of Submissions and Reviews; Co-Editor Samuel Bennett manages Publishing and Production; and Co-Editor Bernhard Forchtner coordinates the Special Issues. Their email addresses can be found in the Board list.

JLP welcomes review papers of any research monograph or edited volume which takes a critical and analytical approach to the study of language and politics, as broadly conceived above. If you are interested in reviewing any recent, relevant text please email the JLP Reviews Editor and we can arrange for a book copy to be sent to you.

JLP publishes its articles Online First.

    Guidelines

    Guidelines for Contributors

    1. Authors are invited to submit their contribution through the journal’s online submission and manuscript tracking site. Please consult the Short Guide to EM for Authors before you submit your paper. For final formatting rules please consult the Guidelines for Final Formatting.

    2. Manuscript submissions should be accompanied by a biographical note (50–75 words), an abstract (100–150 words), key words, and the author(s)' full name, address and email address.

    Manuscripts should be max. 7500 words (notes, references and front/end matter included) Book reviews should be 1,000-1,200 words in length and should otherwise follow the same guidelines as specified above (see for further details on book reviews point 12).

    3. Upon acceptance the author will be requested to submit the final version of the manuscript, saved in a standard word processing format and in ASCII.

    4. Papers should be reasonably divided into sections and, if necessary, sub-sections.

    5. Contributions should be in English. Spelling should be either British or American English consistently throughout. If not written by a native speaker of English it is advisable to have the paper checked by a native speaker.

    6. Line drawings (figures) and photographs (plates) should be submitted in camera-ready form or as TIFF or EPS files. They should be numbered consecutively, with appropriate captions. Reference to any Figures or Plates should be made in the main text and their desired position should be indicated.

    7. Tables should be numbered consecutively and provided with appropriate captions. They should be referred to in the main text and their desired position should be indicated.

    8. Quotations should be given in double quotation marks. Quotations longer than 4 lines should be indented with a blank line above and below the quoted text.

    9. Examples should be numbered with Arabic numerals in parentheses and set apart from the main body of the text with a blank line above and below. Examples from languages other than Modern English should appear in italics with a translation in single quotes im- mediately below each such example. If required, a word-by-word gloss (without quotes) may be provided between the example phrase and the translation.

    10. Notes should be kept to an absolute minimum. Note indicators in the text should appear at the end of sentences or phrases, and follow the respective punctuation marks. Notes should preferably be submitted in the form of end notes; these will however be turned into footnotes in the publication version. 

    11. Funding information should be provided if funding was received through a grant for the research that is discussed in the article, including funder name and grant number, in a separate section called "Funding information" before (an Acknowledgment section and) the References.

    12. Acknowledgments (other than funding information, see above) should be added in a separate, unnumbered section entitled "Acknowledgments", placed before the References.

    13. References

    It is essential that the references are formatted to the specifications given in these guidelines, as these cannot be formatted automatically. This journal series uses the ‘Author-Date’ style as described in the latest edition of The Chicago Manual of Style.
    References in the text: These should be as precise as possible, giving page references where necessary; for example (Clahsen 1991, 252) or: as in Brown et al. (1991, 252). All references in the text should appear in the references section.
    References section: References should be listed first alphabetically and then chronologically. The section should include all (and only!) references that are actually mentioned in the text.
    A note on capitalization in titles. For titles in English, CMS uses headline-style capitalization. In titles and subtitles, capitalize the first and last words, and all other major words (nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, some conjunctions). Do not capitalize articles; prepositions (unless used adverbially or adjectivally, or as part of a Latin expression used adverbially or adjectivally); the conjunctions and, but, for, or, nor; to as part of an infinitive; as in any grammatical function; parts of proper names that would be lower case in normal text; the second part of a species name. For more details and examples, consult the Chicago Manual of Style. For any other languages, and English translations of titles given in square brackets, CMS uses sentence-style capitalization: capitalization as in normal prose, i.e., the first word in the title, the subtitle, and any proper names or other words normally given initial capitals in the language in question.
