Journal Title：Language Policy

Language Policy is highly relevant to scholars, students, specialists and policy-makers working in the fields of applied linguistics, language policy, sociolinguistics, and language teaching and learning. The journal aims to contribute to the field by publishing high-quality studies that build a sound theoretical understanding of the field of language policy and cover a range of cases, situations and regions worldwide.

A distinguishing feature of this journal is its focus on various dimensions of language educational policy. Language education policy includes decisions about which languages are to be used as a medium of instruction and/or taught in schools, as well as analysis of these policies within their social, ethnic, religious, political, cultural and economic contexts.

The journal aims to continue its tradition of bringing together solid scholarship on language policy and language education policy from around the world but also to expand its direction into new areas. The editors are very interested in papers that explore language policy not only at national levels but also at the institutional levels of schools, workplaces, families, health services, media and other entities. In particular, we welcome theoretical and empirical papers with sound qualitative or quantitative bases that critically explore how language policies are developed at local and regional levels, as well as on how they are enacted, contested and negotiated by the targets of that policy themselves. We seek papers on the above topics as they are researched and informed through interdisciplinary work within related fields such as education, anthropology, politics, linguistics, economics, law, history, ecology, and geography. We particularly are interested in papers from lesser-covered parts of the world of Africa and Asia.

Specifically we encourage papers in the following areas:

Detailed accounts of promoting and managing language (education) policy (who, what, why, and how) in local, institutional, national and global contexts.

Research papers on the development, implementation and effects of language policies, including implications for minority and majority languages, endangered languages, lingua francas and linguistic human rights;

Accounts of language policy development and implementation by governments and governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations and business enterprises, with a critical perspective (not only descriptive).

Accounts of attempts made by ethnic, religious and minority groups to establish, resist, or modify language policies (language policies 'from below');

Theoretically and empirically informed papers addressing the enactment of language policy in public spaces, cyberspace and the broader language ecology (e.g., linguistic landscapes, sociocultural and ethnographic perspectives on language policy);

Review pieces of theory or research that contribute broadly to our understanding of language policy, including of how individual interests and practices interact with policy.

We also welcome proposals for special guest-edited thematic issues on any of the topics above, and short commentaries on topical issues in language policy or reactions to papers published in the journal.

《語言政策》與應(yīng)用語言學(xué)、語言政策、社會(huì)語言學(xué)以及語言教學(xué)和學(xué)習(xí)領(lǐng)域的學(xué)者、學(xué)生、專家和政策制定者息息相關(guān)。該期刊旨在通過發(fā)表高質(zhì)量的研究成果來為該領(lǐng)域做出貢獻(xiàn)，這些研究成果建立了對(duì)語言政策領(lǐng)域的堅(jiān)實(shí)理論理解，并涵蓋了全球范圍內(nèi)的一系列案例、情況和地區(qū)。

該期刊的一個(gè)顯著特點(diǎn)是它關(guān)注語言教育政策的各個(gè)方面。語言教育政策包括決定哪些語言將用作教學(xué)媒介和/或在學(xué)校教授，以及在社會(huì)、種族、宗教、政治、文化和經(jīng)濟(jì)背景下分析這些政策。

該期刊旨在繼續(xù)其傳統(tǒng)，匯集來自世界各地的語言政策和語言教育政策方面的扎實(shí)學(xué)術(shù)成果，同時(shí)也將其方向擴(kuò)展到新的領(lǐng)域。編輯們對(duì)不僅在國家層面，而且在學(xué)校、工作場(chǎng)所、家庭、衛(wèi)生服務(wù)、媒體和其他實(shí)體的機(jī)構(gòu)層面探討語言政策的論文非常感興趣。我們尤其歡迎具有良好定性或定量基礎(chǔ)的理論和實(shí)證論文，這些論文批判性地探討語言政策在地方和區(qū)域?qū)用娴闹贫ǚ绞?，以及政策目?biāo)本身如何制定、爭(zhēng)論和協(xié)商這些政策。我們尋求有關(guān)上述主題的論文，因?yàn)樗鼈兪峭ㄟ^教育、人類學(xué)、政治、語言學(xué)、經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)、法律、歷史、生態(tài)學(xué)和地理等相關(guān)領(lǐng)域的跨學(xué)科工作進(jìn)行研究和形成的。我們尤其對(duì)來自非洲和亞洲等較少被報(bào)道地區(qū)的論文感興趣。

具體來說，我們鼓勵(lì)以下領(lǐng)域的論文：

在地方、機(jī)構(gòu)、國家和全球背景下促進(jìn)和管理語言（教育）政策（誰、什么、為什么和如何）的詳細(xì)說明。

關(guān)于語言政策的制定、實(shí)施和影響的研究論文，包括對(duì)少數(shù)民族和多數(shù)語言、瀕危語言、通用語和語言人權(quán)的影響；

以批判性視角（而不僅僅是描述性）描述政府和政府機(jī)構(gòu)、非政府組織和商業(yè)企業(yè)制定和實(shí)施語言政策的情況。

描述種族、宗教和少數(shù)民族群體建立、抵制或修改語言政策（“自下而上的”語言政策）的嘗試；

從理論和實(shí)證角度探討語言政策制定的論文公共空間、網(wǎng)絡(luò)空間和更廣泛的語言生態(tài)（例如語言景觀、語言政策的社會(huì)文化和人種學(xué)視角）；

回顧有助于我們廣泛理解語言政策的理論或研究，包括個(gè)人利益和實(shí)踐如何與政策相互作用。

我們也歡迎就上述任何主題提出特別客座編輯專題提案，以及對(duì)語言政策熱點(diǎn)問題的簡(jiǎn)短評(píng)論或?qū)ζ诳习l(fā)表的論文的反應(yīng)。

Language Policy創(chuàng)刊于2002年，由Springer Nature出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋Multiple全領(lǐng)域，此刊是該細(xì)分領(lǐng)域中屬于非常不錯(cuò)的SCI期刊，在行業(yè)細(xì)分領(lǐng)域中學(xué)術(shù)影響力較大，專業(yè)度認(rèn)可很高，所以對(duì)原創(chuàng)文章要求創(chuàng)新性較高，如果您的文章質(zhì)量很高，可以嘗試。平均審稿速度 ，影響因子指數(shù)1.4，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
