At its core, ILCC encourages submissions from a wide range of disciplines intersecting humanities and social sciences, including but not limited to: Linguistics, applied linguistics, literary studies, cultural studies, critical theory, media studies, translation studies, philosophy, sociology, gender studies, visual arts, anthropology (cultural and linguistic), arts, folklore, heritage studies and political science, all of which assist scholars to ‘shoe-horn’ their multidisciplinary arguments.
The launch of ILCC by Academy Publishing Center (APC) is a recognition that multi-, inter- and trans-disciplinarity not only shapes the social landscape of linguistics, culture and communication but also establishes a significant and dynamic area of investigation in contemporary communication and interaction. More specifically, the journal marks an important theoretical, methodological, and empirical shift carving new routes through several disciplinary terrains to consolidate and advance the development of language, culture and media scholarship.
ILCC encourages constructive and rigorously critical dialogue through a carefully curated balance of high-quality research articles, review papers, case studies, book reviews and submissions to future special issues to nurture the research capacity of our scholarly community. Manuscript submissions are reviewed by a number of peer-reviewers and members of the international Editorial Board.
