The editors of Language and Law / Linguagem e Direito (LL / LD), the new international bilingual bi-annual online journal, invite original unpublished contributions from researchers, academics and practitioners alike, in Portuguese or English. Articles are welcome in any area of forensic linguistics / language and the law for Volume 2.1, to be published in 2015.

Language and Law / Linguagem e Direito is completely electronic and freely available for everyone to download at http://llld.linguisticaforense.pt. Because Language and Law has no printing costs it can be extremely flexible to individual author’s requirements: not only can it publish quickly all the high quality articles it receives, but also it can cope with long appendices, reproduce illustrations, photographs and tables in full colour, as well embed sound files and hyperlinks.

All submissions must be made by email, in MS Word or Latex format, to the journal’s email address llldjournal@gmail.com. Manuscripts can vary in length, but we suggest that they should be between 4,500 and 8,000 words and be preceded by an abstract of no more than 150 words in the language of the article and, if possible, in the journal’s other language as well. The abstract should also include up to five keywords. Contributors should indicate in the body of the accompanying email their name, institutional affiliation and email address(es). Articles submitted for publication should not have been previously published nor submitted simultaneously for consideration elsewhere.

In submitting an article, authors cede to the journal the right to publish and republish it in both the journal languages. However, copyright remains with the authors. Thus, if they wish to republish, they simply need to inform the editors and on publication send complete bibliographical data.

The deadline for contributions is January 31, 2015. All papers will be double blind peer-reviewed by the end of March 2015 and the issue will be published by the end of July 2015.

Ethnography as a research-support discipline in ESP teaching, learning and research in the French academic context , by Shaeda Isani

Leave a reply

This article posits that there is a natural affinity between an ethnographic-inspired approach and ESP teaching and research in the wide-angled, sociocultural perspective prevalent in French universities. In spite of little bibliometric evidence to this effect, this study identifies an unrecognised but nevertheless discernible ethnographic-orientated current which underlines the involvement of all three central protagonists of the discipline, ESP teachers, learners and researchers. The article concludes by advocating that the sociocultural orientation of ESP teaching and research in the French academic context stands to benefit from greater integration of the principles and practices of ethnography in French ESP studies.
