Discourse & Society (DS)

Discourse & Society is a long‑standing, peer‑reviewed academic journal published by SAGE Publications that has been shaping the field of discourse analysis since 1990. It publishes high‑quality research at the intersection of discourse studies and the social sciences, focusing on how language—both written and spoken—interacts with social, political, cultural, and institutional structures. Through rigorous theoretical and empirical work, the journal examines how discourse acts as both a reflection and a mechanism of power, inequality, identity, ideology, and social cognition. Contributions often engage with topics such as political discourse, media narratives, institutional talk, social identity construction, and civic communication, applying advanced analytical methods to uncover hidden patterns of meaning and power relations. Discourse & Society promotes a critical, theory‑informed approach, encouraging research that combines methodological rigor with substantive insights into real‑world social phenomena. Its multidisciplinary scope makes it valuable to scholars across linguistics, sociology, communication studies, political science, and anthropology. Published six times a year, it maintains a strong international editorial board and is recognized as a leading journal within discourse and social analysis.
