  • Language Works 9(1)
    Vol. 9 No. 1 (2024)

    Summer is fast approaching, and it is of course time for us to present to you yet another issue of the journal of Language Works in which we publish articles by dedicated students of language and linguistics. The current issue includes three very different articles – a testament to the range in methodology and topics of interest within our Danish linguistics communities! This time you can learn about translation of verbs from French to Danish, pronunciation issues for adult learners of Danish as a foreign language, and flirtatious messages in Tinder interactions.

    Happy reading from the editorial team

    Vol. 8 No. 1 (2023)

    Summer is finally here, but before we leave the office it is now time for yet another issue of the student journal, Language Works. And what an issue we have for you with, loaded with emojis and emotions, and a bit of phonetics to start out with! On behalf of the editorial team: Happy summer and happy reading.

  • Language Works 7(2)
    Vol. 7 No. 2 (2022)

    The year is drawing to a close and it is quiet at the university while students and staff are away on their Christmas break, hopefully relaxing after a busy semester at the departments of language sciences around the country. Before we can finally part with the year of 2022, however, it is time to welcome the newest issue of our student journal, Language Works! Happy reading and happy New Year from the editorial team.

    Vol. 7 No. 1 (2022)

    Welcome to the 12th issue of Language Works.

    After two years (has it really ”only” been two years?) in the shadow of Covid, we are now back to studies and research as we know it. This also means a new issue of Language Works, which this time around is bursting at the seams with a total of five articles that span across the broad field of linguistics.

    Welcome, and happy reading!

  • Language Works 6(2)
    Vol. 6 No. 2 (2021)

    When we published the previous issue, we were certain that now, finally, Covid was a thing of the past. But then omicron came along, and as we write this, we are again preparing for new restrictions on campus life. But once again, the editors and authors keep the fire burning, so in spite of all worries, here is a new issue of Language Works.

    Vol. 6 No. 1 (2021)

    Welcome to this issue of Language Works and a happy summer so all from the editors. While we write this, the sun is out, the European Football Championship is being played, and it is beginning to feel like there may actually be a life after the Corona pandemic.

  • Language Works 5(2)
    Vol. 5 No. 2 (2020)

    In this issue, we travel far and wide. For example, we dive into the Danish Health Authority’s corona communication, we enter into the mind itself in an article on mentalization, and in one article, we go all the way to South America. In short, there’s an article for everyone.

    Vol. 5 No. 1 (2020)

    Corona pandemic or not, no summer without a new issue of Language Works. With this issue, we present the eighth publication of the journal.

  • Language Works 4(2)
    Vol. 4 No. 2 (2019)

    Language works and something is worked out through language. This is shown by the four authors of this issue in different ways and by using different methods. The authors address linguistic topics and demonstrate convincingly how linguistic phenomena affect our ability to gain common understanding and perceptions of the social world, and how meaning and action are accomplished through language. The analyses presented are rooted in and related to socially relevant issues, such as second language teaching, diagnosis of depression, gender, and threats as a criminal act.

    Language and communication are central to many fields of research and study - and with current US President Trump's rhetoric, the point "language matters" becomes more obvious than ever. In Language Works, students are given the opportunity to convey their perspectives on why language matters, how, in what contexts, and give their bids on how it can be researched and documented.

  • Vol. 3 No. 2 (2018)

     

    In this issue we can again present five fine articles with very diverse points of departure and very different research interests within the large field we know as language studies. We will be visiting different areas of linguistics students’ interests, and as is starting to become a tradition, we can present both theoretical contributions and applied case studies.

    In this issue we bring three papers with a grammatical focus, one of them with a cross-linguistic perspective to boot. Apart from that, we have papers on essay writing in secondary schools and children’s acquisition of pointing and gesticulation.

    In this issue we can present five fine articles with very diverse points of departure and very different research interests within the large field we know as language studies. We will be visiting different areas of linguistics students’ interests, and is as starting to become a tradition, we can present both theoretical contributions and applied case-studies. If anything sets this issue apart, it is that three of the five contributions are of an experimental nature. Who knows what direction the next issue will take when you have submitted your manuscript to us?

  • Vol. 2 No. 2 (2017)

     

    In this issue we can present six fine articles with very diverse points of departure and very different research interests within the large field we know as language studies. We will be visiting different areas of linguistics students’ interests: from interactions on Facebook to interactions in primary school and elderly care; from fundamental theoretical discussions on the nature of online language, to minute details in conversations; and from phonology to corpus linguistics. If we were ever in doubt, the issue shows the breadth of the field of language studies. And if there are areas within the field not yet covered, maybe they will be covered in the next issue when you have sent your manuscript to us.

    We are proud to be able to present the second issues of Language Works. Sprogvidenskabeligt studentertidsskrift and also to be able to reveal that contributions to the next issues have already started arriving in our electronic mailboxes. It looks like the students who had the idea to start a linguistics journal by and for students, hit on a demand. But don’t for a second believe that  Language Works is a private party! We are waiting anxiously for your contribution.

    Language works! – and with this initiative and this journal we want to give the opportunity to many more students to present their linguistic research to each other, to the scientific community and to all interested. Language Works originated among students at Linguistics at Copenhagen University. And it turned out that students at Aarhus University had the same idea.
