Focus and Scope

International Journal of English Linguistics publishes theoretical, empirical, and methodological scholarship on the structure, use, acquisition, processing, and variation of English. Areas of interest include phonetics and phonology; morphology, syntax, and semantics; pragmatics and discourse; historical change; sociolinguistics, dialectology, and world Englishes; psycholinguistics and cognitive linguistics; corpus and computational analysis; first and second language acquisition; English language teaching; language policy and attitudes; and stylistics or literary linguistics based on linguistic questions and methods.

Research articles should state a linguistic problem, document data and procedures, and explain the contribution to English linguistics. Methods, corpora, and computational resources must be validated for a defined linguistic use. Reviews should specify their evidence base and deliver critical synthesis. Teaching studies must advance understanding of English acquisition, language use, assessment, or pedagogical linguistics rather than report course satisfaction alone. Interdisciplinary work with psychology, anthropology, communication, education, or computing is welcome when English phenomena remain central.

Pure literary criticism, general educational studies, generic sentiment analysis, and social surveys without substantive English-language analysis are not considered.
