Call for Papers: Project based learning (PBL)

Discourse & Communication is an international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes articles on the qualitative, discourse analytical approach to issues in communication research. Published quarterly, it covers research in cognitive, interactional, social, cultural, political and historical contexts of discourse. It is edited by Teun A. van Dijk.

Discourse & Society is a leading international peer-reviewed journal whose major aim is to publish outstanding research at the boundaries of discourse analysis and the social sciences. It focuses on explicit theory formation and analysis of the relationships between the structures of text, talk, language use, verbal interaction or communication, on the one hand, and social, political or cultural micro- and macrostructures and cognitive social representations, on the other. It is edited by Teun A. van Dijk.

Discourse Processes is a multidisciplinary journal providing a forum for cross-fertilization of ideas from diverse disciplines sharing a common interest in discourse--prose comprehension and recall, dialogue analysis, text grammar construction, computer simulation of natural language, cross-cultural comparisons of communicative competence, or related topics. The problems posed by multisentence contexts and the methods required to investigate them, although not always unique to discourse, are sufficiently distinct so as to require an organized mode of scientific interaction made possible through the journal. The journal accepts original experimental or theoretical papers that substantially advance understanding of the structure and function of discourse. Scholars working in the discourse area from the perspective of sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, discourse psychology, text linguistics, ethnomethodology and sociology of language, education, philosophy of language, computer science, and related subareas are invited to contribute. New ways of studying discourse processes in their full complexity can require new ways of presenting data and analyses. The electronic version of Discourse Processes allows access to multimedia (video and/or audio) content when it appropriately augments the presentation of a particular piece. Peer Review Policy: Manuscripts submitted to this journal undergo editorial screening and peer review by anonymous reviewers. Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.
