Author Guidelines

Subject matter and content

Papers may address a research topic in the areas of theoretical and applied linguistics. Interdisciplinary articles are also accepted.

Types of Contributions

The journal accepts two types of contributions: articles and reviews.

  1. ARTÍCULOS
    Papers devoted, mainly, to linguistics, as well as related areas. Papers must be unpublished and not pending evaluation in other journals, including electronic editions. The texts will be reviewed by external reviewers using the double-blind system.

    STRUCTURAL ASPECTS OF THE ARTICLE
    1. Título del artículo (conciso e informativo)
    2. Author's name: names by which he/she will be known for his/her publication (can be one name and one surname only), institutional affiliation, ORCID, institutional e-mail address.
    3. Abstracts in three languages: Spanish, English, Portuguese (including, after each abstract, key words in the respective languages). Texts written in native languages will write the second language in Spanish and then in English. Texts written in English will present their abstracts in the following order: English, Spanish, Portuguese.
    4. Job text.
    5. Bibliographic references (corresponding to explicit citations in the text, with a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 30. On the other hand, it is suggested to include database sources, such as Scopus, WoS or Scielo, as well as Latin American and Peruvian journals, as long as the information is related to the content of the text).

    Considerations:
    1. Contribute with topics related to linguistic research responding to the diversity of lines both in the theoretical and applied fields, in the Hispanic, Andean and Amazonian areas.
    2. Be rigorously original.
    3. Be unpublished.
    4. It is possible to write in modern or Amerindian languages.
    5. The text should be received in Microsoft Word, Times New Roman, font size 12, single and half spaced.
    6. The articles received will be evaluated before publication.

    An author of a manuscript can only publish one paper per issue of the journal. Articles in which an author appears in two texts in the same issue of the journal are not published. This can only occur in exceptional situations when there is additional space or when the article has also passed the review of blind peer juries and they advise its publication.

Rules for bibliographic references

The journal requests that manuscripts be submitted in APA format. The set of bibliographical references appears at the end of the contribution and should be arranged alphabetically. It should correspond only to explicit citations in the text. Within the text, such citations should appear in the text in abbreviated form: the main surname, the date of publication, the page indication, i.e. (Chomsky, 2002, p. 55). The author is responsible for ensuring that all abbreviated citations have the respective bibliographic reference at the end. In case the reference has to do with a book or article not yet published, this should be indicated with the phrase "in preparation". A "personal communication" should not be cited unless it provides essential information that cannot be obtained from a printed source.

APA 7

Language and Society requires that articles be written in APA seventh edition: https://apastyle.apa.org/blog/. Tables and figures should follow APA format (7). Images are submitted in JPG format in high resolution, over 1000px high and 300 DPI and uploaded along with the manuscript.

The authors retain the right to share, copy, distribute, perform, and publicly communicate the article published in Language and Society, with an acknowledgement of its initial publication in Language and Society. Authors retain the right to make a subsequent publication of their work, to use the article or any part of it (e.g., a compilation of their work, notes for conferences, theses, or for a book), provided they indicate the source of publication (authors of the work, journal, volume, issue, and date).
