Aims & Scope

VAKKI Publications focuses on language, discourse and communication in professional settings. Each year, the theme of the journal issue corresponds to that of the annual VAKKI Symposium, and the presenters of the symposium are welcome to submit a full paper corresponding to their presentation. VAKKI Publications is multilingual; articles may be written in Finnish, Swedish, English, or German. We expect that manuscripts state the aim, theoretical background, data and method (for empirical papers), findings and conclusions. Manuscripts that have already been published will not be accepted.
