Discourse & Communication (DC)
Journal Descriptions
Discourse & Communication is a well‑established international academic journal published by SAGE Publications that serves as a premier outlet for research at the intersection of discourse studies and communication scholarship. Since its inception in 2007, the journal has specialized in the qualitative and discourse analytical investigation of communication practices, including text, talk, multimodal messaging, media discourse, organizational communication, and sociocultural interaction. The journal places a strong emphasis on systematic and theory‑informed analysis of communicative phenomena, going beyond descriptive accounts to explore how language and discourse shape, reflect, and reproduce social processes and power relations. Its multidisciplinary scope attracts contributions from linguistics, communication studies, pragmatics, semiotics, sociolinguistics, media studies, cultural studies, and related fields, making it a key resource for scholars interested in both conceptual frameworks and empirical discourse research. Research published in Discourse & Communication often addresses contemporary issues such as media framing, public discourse on social issues, political communication, organizational narratives, and digital communication contexts. With a bimonthly publication schedule, robust peer review standards, and strong editorial leadership, the journal supports international scholarship and contributes significantly to how researchers understand the roles of discourse in diverse communicative environments.
