About the journal
In five issues of 160 pages each per year, the Journal of Sociolinguistics is an international forum for multidisciplinary research on language and society.
The journal promotes sociolinguistics as a thoroughly linguistic and thoroughly social-scientific endeavour. We encourage submissions which forge innovative links, theoretically or empirically, between social systems and linguistic practices.
The journal is concerned with language in all its dimensions, macro and micro, as formal features or abstract discourses, as situated talk or written text. Data in published articles represent a wide range of languages, regions and situations - from Alune to Xhosa, from Cameroun to Canada, from bulletin boards to dating ads.
The journal publishes occasional thematic issues on new topics of wide relevance to sociolinguistics, such as 'Styling the Other' (1999, edited by Ben Rampton) and 'Non-standard orthographgy and non-standard speech' (2000, edited by Alexandra Jaffe).
We publish and encourage articles that build or critique sociolinguistic theory, and the application of recent social theory to language data and issues.
The journal's Dialogue section carries opinion pieces and exchanges between scholars on topical issues, including Jan Blommaert, Tove Skutnabb-Kangas and Robert Phillipson on sociolinguistics and linguistic human rights.
Instructions to Authors
SUBMISSIONS
Submitted papers may be sent to either editor at the addresses listed below. Supply four copies of the paper (i.e. one for each editor, plus two for reviewers), and keep an identical copy for reference. Manuscripts will not be returned. Submissions must be sent in hard copy, they cannot be accepted electronically.
The Journals language of publication is English. Submissions will be peer-reviewed unless in the editors opinion a paper falls outside the journals scope or is not of adequate scholarly standard. Reviewing will be anonymous as far as practicable, so please avoid undue self-identification in the manuscript.
Submission of a paper is assumed to mean that it is original work which has not been previously published and is not simultaneously in press or being considered for publication elsewhere (in either electronic or hard copy). Related articles being published or considered elsewhere should be acknowledged.
Submissions should normally be limited to a maximum of 40 manuscript pages (double-spaced, wide-margined, 12-point type), including all references, tables, figures, appendices, etc. Exceptions might be where additional space is essential, for example, in reviewing extensive literatures or in representing large corpora. In such instances, submitting authors should make a case for additional space in a covering letter.
STYLE
Format
The front page of the manuscript should carry the title of the paper, name/s and affiliation/s of author/s, and full contact addresses for correspondence - postal, email, fax and telephone. Correspondence will be sent to the first-named author unless otherwise indicated.
The 2nd page of the manuscript should carry the title (but no author identification), a single- paragraph abstract of up to 150 words, a list of up to six key words, a short running title for use as a page header, and the word count for the main text only of the paper (excluding abstract, notes and references).
The main text of the article begins on the 3rd page. After the end of the main text, there follow in order: Notes, References, Appendices, Tables and Figures. Number all pages except those with tables and figures.
Manuscripts should be typed on single sided A4 or 81/2 x 11-inch paper. They should be double spaced throughout (including abstract, quotations, transcripts, notes, references, tables, etc.), with a right margin 5 cm (2 inches) wide. Do not justify the right margin or hyphenate within words.
Avoid more than two levels of subheadings. Use all upper case letters for the first level of heading, lower and upper case for the second level. After a heading, start text on the line next below. Begin paragraphs with an indent except after headings. Leave an extra space between paragraphs.
Lists or numbered examples should use arabic numbers on the margin, followed by a stop but without parentheses, with the text indented throughout. Long quotations, whether citations or data, should be separated from the text and indented, and in full size type.
Spelling and punctuation
Use single quote marks for quotations, double quote marks for "quotations within quotations". Give page number of reference for direct quotations. Translations or glosses should appear in single quotes. Cited forms should be underlined to represent italics in print.
Ensure that phonetic or other non-orthographic symbols are clear, especially diacritic marks. For excerpts of transcribed spoken data, keep conventions to the minimum necessary for the points to be made. Explain conventions in the text above the first excerpt or in a note or appendix, depending on length.
Either British or American spelling and punctuation conventions may be used, but they should be applied consistently throughout the paper.
Notes
Avoid the use of notes where possible - authors will be asked to reduce excessive numbers of notes.
Notes will appear as endnotes. Use superscript numbers (not too small) in the text. Number notes consecutively and gather them immediately after the end of the main text. Start them on a new page, and use the heading NOTES. Place note numbers on the left margin, with the text indented throughout. Leave an extra space between each note.
Use Note 1 for acknowledgements, etc., and attach it to the title on the cover page.
References
References should use the author/date system, e.g.: (Hymes 1974). When the authors name appears in the text, use: Gumperz (1983) argues that .... Page numbers appear after a colon (plus space) following the date: Labov (1972: 269-270). Do not use additional parentheses for the date of a reference contained in text that is already enclosed in parentheses. Use semicolons between a sequence of references by different authors.
For works with three or more authors, either use all authors names at each citation: Fishman, Ferguson and Das Gupta (1968); or use et al. after first mention: Fishman et al. (1968).
All works cited must appear under the title REFERENCES following any notes and preceding any tables or figures. Start the references on a new page. Check thoroughly that all works cited in text and notes appear in the list of references, and that authors and dates match between citation and references.
The references appear in alphabetical order. Use authors names as they appear on the published sources, with full first name unless author uses only initials. Reverse first and last names only for the head name of the reference.
Same-author references appear in date order. Same-date references by the same author should be identified as: Labov 1972a, 1972b, 1972c, etc. Multiple-authored works follow all sole-authored works by the first author, in alphabetical order of second (and subsequent) authors. Do not use the convention of an underline before the date for subsequent works by the same author.
Indent the second and subsequent lines of each reference. Capitalize main words in book and journal titles. Use minimal capitalization in article titles, but capitalize the first letter after a colon within the title. Do not use quotation marks around article or chapter titles. Underline the titles of books and journals.
Give volume number for journal references, and publisher plus place of publication for books. Spell out U.S. state names in full. Use and not & (ampersand). Give full page numbers for articles in journals and books.
Use the following styles for citing monographs, edited volumes, articles in edited volumes, journal articles, conference or other oral presentations, and unpublished works such as dissertations:
Bartlett, Chris. 1990. Research in progress on the Southland variety of New Zealand English. Paper presented to the New Zealand Seminar on Language and Society, Victoria University, Wellington.
Bauman, Richard. 1983. Let your Words be Few: Symbolism of Speaking and Silence among Seventeenth-century Quakers. Cambridge and New York: Cambridge University Press.
Chambers, J. K. 1995. Sociolinguistic Theory. Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Oxford, U.K.: Blackwell Publishers.
Ferguson, Charles A. 1959. Diglossia. Word 15: 325-340.
Pride, J. B. and Janet Holmes (eds.). 1972. Sociolinguistics: Selected Readings. Harmondsworth, U.K.: Penguin.
Rickford, John R. and Faye McNair-Knox. 1994. Addressee- and topic-influenced style shift: A quantitative sociolinguistic study. In Douglas Biber and Edward Finegan (eds.) Sociolinguistic Perspectives on Register. New York and Oxford: Oxford University Press. 235-276.
Thomas, Jenny. 1986. The dynamics of discourse: A pragmatic analysis of confrontational interaction. Unpublished PhD dissertation. Lancaster, U.K.: University of Lancaster.
Check thoroughly the accuracy, completeness and order of references before submission.
Tables and figures
Mark the approximate positioning of tables and figures in the text. Tables appear after the references, followed by figures, with each on a separate page. They should be numbered consecutively and typed widely spaced. Supply a brief caption above each table and below each figure, including a gloss on any abbreviations used. Keep detail on tables and figures to the minimum needed to substantiate the points made in the text. Ensure all figures are of sufficient quality to reproduce adequately. Use a type size large enough to allow for reduction at publication. Figures should be prepared using an artwork package such as Freehand, Illustrator or Photoshop and supplied as an EPS or TIF file. Use of colour and tints should be avoided.
After acceptance
Final versions of accepted articles will be expected to conform to these guidelines, and may be returned to the author if they do not. All material accepted for publication is subject to editing for length and in other respects by the editors, although this will be done, as far as practical, in consultation with authors. Accepted articles will be required on disc as well as in hard copy.
Exclusive Licence Form
Authors will be required to sign an Exclusive Licence Form (ELF) for all papers accepted for publication. Signature of the ELF is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless a signed form has been received. Please note that signature of the Exclusive Licence Form does not affect ownership of copyright in the material. (Government employees need to complete the Author Warranty sections, although copyright in such cases does not need to be assigned). After submission authors will retain the right to publish their paper in various media/circumstances (please see the form for further details). To assist authors an appropriate form will be supplied by the editorial office. Alternatively, authors may like to download a copy of the form here.
