Aims & Scope

Text & Talk (founded as TEXT in 1981) is an internationally recognized forum for interdisciplinary research in language, discourse, and communication studies, focusing, among other things, on the situational and historical nature of text/talk production; the cognitive and sociocultural processes of language practice/action; and participant-based structures of meaning negotiation and multimodal alignment. Text & Talk encourages critical debates on these and other relevant issues, spanning not only the theoretical and methodological dimensions of discourse but also their practical and socially relevant outcomes.

Text & Talk

• encourages the dissemination of scholarly work in all aspects of language and communication research, especially in under-represented domains (e.g., communication science, artificial intelligence, professional communication, rhetoric and composition, stylistics, narratives, institutional ethnography, sociology of science);
• systematically reviews from time to time via position papers and state-of-the-art articles the major conceptual and analytic developments in language and communication research;
• challenges through critique and debate the tenets of discourse research across disciplinary boundaries, in terms of theoretical and methodological insights as well as practical outcomes;
• remains independent of any individual or group ideology, while encouraging in equal measure the use of discourse to challenge discourse orthodoxy.

Text & Talk is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal of international scope.

Srikant Sarangi is Professor in Language and Communication and Director of the Health Communication Research Centre at Cardiff University. He is also the editor of Communication & Medicine.
