Focus and Scope

Loquēla (Journal of Linguistics, Literature, and Education) is an Open Access journal that aims to publish research outcomes with significant contributions to Linguistics, Literature, Education, and their influences on social transformations. Loquēla does not collect only research outcomes from different disciplines and methodological approaches, but also research carried out by interdisciplinary research teams. In this line, disciplinary and interdisciplinary works related to Cultural Studies are welcomed.

In the field of Linguistics, it covers issues in both micro and macro linguistics such as Morphology, Phonology, Syntax, Semantics, and applied linguistics such as Sociolinguistics, Psycholinguistics, Discourse Analysis, Critical Discourse Analysis, Pragmatics, Stylistics, Corpus Linguistics, Anthropolinguistics,  and others.

In the area of Literature, it deals with Modern and Contemporary Literature, Comparative Literature, World Literature, Children Literature, and others. It also explores Cultural Texts and Practices, such as Popular Culture (Movie Analysis, Music Analysis), Sacred text, and others. 

In the Study of Education, it provides a vital forum for considering practice, policy, and research in education. It examines some of the most timely and important topics in the field of language and literature teaching and their transformations. 

In Cultural Studies, Loquela provides articles that examine how cultural practices relate to everyday life, history, structures of power, affect, ideology, economy, politics, knowledge, technology, and the environment. Loquela welcomes empirically-rich, politically-engaged research that critically engages:

• Feminist, gender, and sexuality studies.
• Theories and practices of globalization.
• The histories and long-term effects of colonialism.
• Race theory and ethnic studies.
• The cultural politics of language and communication.
• The histories and definitions of the word “culture”.
• The histories, politics, and global formations of cultural studies.
• Techniques, institutions, and systems of power.
• Formations of resistance, activism, and intervention.
• The history, politics, and philosophy of media or technology.

Its overriding objective is to provide a forum for scholars and practitioners in the mentioned areas to address a broad cross-section of the professions.

Appropriate subjects include, but not limited to, the dissemination of well-conceived analysis, research reports, studies, and application of theories or approaches. By providing a public platform for publication, Loquēla (Journal of Linguistics, Literature, and Education) hopes to encourage the global community to think more broadly, thoroughly, and analytically concerning issues in the study of linguistics, literature, education, and cultural studies.
