Sociolinguistic Studies (SS)

Sociolinguistic Studies, formerly Estudios de Sociolingüística, takes an ecumenical approach to the different schools, methodological principles or research orientations within sociolinguistic research. Sociolinguistic Studies is the new title of Estudios de Sociolingüística, a journal founded in 2000 at the University of Vigo (Galicia, Spain) which offers a linguistic and cultural bridge between sociolinguistic research in the Romance world – especially the Spanish and Latino-American world – and the English-speaking research community. All articles in Sociolinguistic Studies are double-blind, peer-reviewed (with 3 reports in five weeks) and may be in English, Spanish, Galician, Portuguese, French or Italian (90% of the contents are in English). Papers may examine any issue in sociolinguistic research including, but not limited to,styles and registers, communicative situations and speech events, politeness, bilingual conversation and code-switching, gender and discourse, language attitudes, language ideologies, the diversity of the worldwide linguistic situation, bilingualism and multilingualism, diglossia, pidgins and creoles, language and culture and language and identity. The bilingual turn (to which our university has contributed by holding two international symposia, in 1997 and 2002) leads to the assumption that the monolingual perspective will not continue to be the unmarked case. This journal will contribute to the enhancing bilingualism as the majority and common fact along the populations of the world, reversing the traditional and very conservative point of view. Also, the problems and phenomena labelled as ‘bilingualism’ are a promising area of encounter between psycholinguists and sociolinguists.
