Journal: Language and Sociocultural Theory

No Comments

Equinox is pleased to announce a new journal Language and Sociocultural Theory
edited by James Lantolf (The Pennsylvania State University).

Language and Sociocultural Theory is an international journal devoted to the
study of language from the perspective of Vygotskian sociocultural theory.

Articles appearing in the journal may draw upon research in the following
fields of study: linguistics and applied linguistics, psychology and cognitive
science, anthropology, cultural studies, and education. Particular emphasis is
placed on applied research grounded on sociocultural theory where language is
central to understanding cognition, communication, culture, learning and
development. The journal especially focuses on research that explores the role
of language in the theory itself, including inner and private speech,
internalization, verbalization, gesticulation, cognition, conceptual
development, etc). Work that explores connections between sociocultural theory
and meaning-based theories of language also fits the journal’s scope.

Publication and Frequency
2 issues per volume year, April and September (commencing 2014)
