Aims & Scope

Apples transgresses disciplinary boundaries and invites submissions that broadly relate to issues of language in society. We welcome manuscripts from all areas and fields that discuss linguistic and discursive phenomena and their societal embeddedness, for instance by addressing in/equity, exclusion/inclusion, societal challenges and developments, or language rights. We also invite submissions that go beyond traditional academic genres and approach topics that align with our mission in creative ways or novel formats. The working language of the journal is English but papers and other contributions can also be published in other languages. We particularly welcome research articles that integrate practical and theoretical perspectives, review articles that critically chart new territories, discussion notes on underreported topics or ongoing research, and reviews of recently published or commonly overlooked books. Additionally, we invite submissions that go beyond traditional academic genres and approach topics that align with our mission in creative ways or novel formats.
