No. 005 (2026): Language, Culture, and Identity: Preserving Heritage in an Age of Globalization
The editorial board invites linguists, cultural scholars, translators, and researchers in the humanities to contribute studies exploring the intricate relationships between language, culture, and identity in a rapidly globalizing world. As global flows of information, migration, and technology intensify, languages and cultural traditions face both unprecedented opportunities and serious threats. This issue aims to examine how communities preserve, transmit, and reinvent their linguistic and cultural heritage while navigating the pressures of globalization, digitalization, and social transformation.
We particularly welcome interdisciplinary contributions that bridge linguistics, cultural studies, translation studies, anthropology, sociology, and the humanities.
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
- language policy, language planning, and the politics of multilingualism
- endangered languages, language shift, and revitalization strategies
- linguocultural studies and the interaction of language and worldview
- translation, interpretation, and cross-cultural mediation
- national, ethnic, and cultural identity in a globalized world
- intercultural communication and the dynamics of cultural contact
- cultural heritage, traditions, and their preservation in the digital age
- postcolonial perspectives on language, power, and representation
- media, language, and the construction of collective identity
- emerging language technologies and their impact on cultural diversity
Types of submissions invited:
- original research (quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods)
- analytical and comparative studies of language and cultural policy
- thematic and applied case studies
- systematic and critical literature reviews
The editorial team seeks contributions offering new perspectives, empirical evidence, and practical solutions that support the preservation of linguistic and cultural diversity in an interconnected world.
Articles will be published on a rolling basis following successful peer review. Manuscripts should be submitted to welcome@delapress.com.
