Languages in Global Contexts (LGC)
Journal Descriptions
Languages in Global Contexts (LGC) addresses current issues in theoretical, descriptive and applied linguistics and discourse analysis, set within global contexts. Languages in Global Contexts (LGC) addresses current issues in theoretical, descriptive and applied linguistics and discourse analysis, set within global contexts. At this time, English is the world’s only global language, representing a resource for all. Yet, the context for all languages is now global, and fast-changing. While the English language in its many varieties around the world no longer reflects any specific geography or identity, linguistics has remained rooted in affluent western perspectives. LGC explores these issues and problems through systemic functional linguistics, and through other sophisticated contemporary theories and methods, publishing a broad range of voices, experiences and realities from around the world. Our aims are related to the exploration and engagement with languages in global contexts: to extend the insights, and apply elements and processes of systemic functional linguistics to a broad range of languages to illuminate issues in language study by examining a range of languages within various local, regional and global settings to develop our methodological and theoretical understandings within established linguistics research, particularly by contextualising it within local realities and global contexts to highlight comparative linguistic analyses (based on both linguistic systems and on multilingual corpora of texts, both comparable and translated), and research contextualising and reframing current linguistics theories, methods within diverse global contexts to connect the mainstream of contemporary linguistics to a broad, global range of perspectives, experiences and voices to review and revise the commitments of the current linguistics centre ground through research coming from global languages and contexts
