Submission of papers

Welcome to Noves SL, Journal on Sociolinguistics, the electronic review of the Language Policy Secretariat devoted to sociolinguistics and related topics. The journal is mainly addressed to experts and to those involved in agencies dealing with language policies, and is aimed to disseminate knowledge, to strengthen the implementation of research and to easy the communication among its readers.

Insofar as Noves SL is a journal published from Catalonia but with a clear willingness of opening and pluralism, we offer you a bilingual version (Catalan/English) although we also publish the papers in their original version. Furthermore we also want to stress this will of opening and pluralism in the articles which will appear on a periodical basis.

The journal aims to deal with questions involving the future and the maintenance of languages within the new framework of the 21st Century: the analysis of the role of new migrations in the Catalan, European and world society; the impact of new technologies in the processes of shift/promotion of languages; the elaboration of new methods of analysis and research, as well as the implementation of sectorial or specific studies.

In the archives you will find the articles published in former editions of Noves SL.

That’s all for now. Time has come now to browse the journal and make it yours through your cooperation, by sending us your papers’ proposals, informations, news, comments and so forth.

Noves SL, Revista de Sociolingüística, is the on-line specialized journal of the Directorate General of Language Policy of the Government of Catalonia, which deals with sociolinguistics and related topics. Noves SL is well-known for the continuous update and the quality of the published articles, as well as for a dynamic system of information and expertise exchange between scholars.

Taking into account the electronic format of the journal, the authors should take advantage at the maximum of the resources granted by this media when writing their articles (images, graphs, links...). The Editorial Board of Noves SL will positively judge these issues previous to the approval of the proposals of articles.

Noves SL will publish the articles in the original language used in the submitted text, even though the possible technical difficulties this might bring.
