Japanese Language and Literature

Aims & Scope

Japanese Language and Literature is the official journal of the American Association of Teachers of Japanese . (Before 2001 [Volume 35] the journal was entitled Journal of the Association of Teachers of Japanese .) In existence since 1966, JLL provides a scholarly forum for AATJ members and the larger academic world in the area of Japanese literature, Japanese linguistics, teaching Japanese as a second or foreign language, and Japanese culture. Two issues are published each year. Japanese Language and Literature is abstracted in all major abstraction services, including the JSTOR archive, which offers a full-text retrieval capability of past issues (those dated up to one year prior to the current volume). The journal welcomes full-length articles that report new analyses, research findings, and insights as well as English translations of Japanese literary texts. Strong preference is given to articles that engage primary source material in Japanese. Manuscripts on the following topics may be submitted: Japanese literary studies in any historical period Literary or linguistic study Cultural studies as it relates to Japanese Japanese language or literature pedagogy, classroom practice Second language acquisition as it relates to Japanese Japanese linguistics English translations of Japanese literature and translation studies as it relates to Japanese Fields related to the above that are likely to be of interest to the readership Short, non-research papers, preliminary research notes or findings, or provocative essays on a topic of interest to the readership are also welcome. These will be considered for the JLL Forum section in the journal. A group of research papers on the same theme may be considered for a special section of the journal. Only submissions written in English are accepted. Linguistic examples, language data, quotations, and so forth may be in any language. AATJ membership is not required to submit a manuscript to JLL . Membership is very strongly encouraged, however.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.
