About the Journal

Aims and scope

Scandinavian Studies in Language is an Open Access, peer-reviewed, English-language journal that bridges Scandinavian and global research trends. Taking a starting point in Scandinavian languages and language use, the journal is devoted to the study of language in all its richness and complexity - to the meanings, functions, structures, and contexts of language and linguistic practices.

Interdisciplinary in its orientation, our journal encourages contributions that study language in relation to culture and cognition, nature and environment, society and institutions, education and media, and to new and interdisciplinary ways of studying, analyzing and theorizing language and life in Scandinavia and beyond.

Our vision is to connect Scandinavia and the world through the publication of papers and special issues that bring together multiple perspectives and traditions. We encourage shared linguistic explorations of topical issues. Current examples are an issue on the social life of interjections, an issue on questions in language, culture and cognition, and an issue on the role of computational linguistics within the humanities and social sciences.
