About the Journal

JLLDS is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing the study of language, literature, and discourse across cultures, communities, and contexts. The journal explores how language and literature function as vehicles of meaning, identity, resistance, and transformation in multilingual, multicultural, and postcolonial settings.

Positioned at the intersection of the humanities and social sciences, LinguaCultura publishes interdisciplinary research that critically engages with multilingual education, linguistic diversity, literary theory, and discourse analysis. It is especially attuned to the dynamics of language policy, cultural identity, gendered narratives, indigenous knowledge, and decolonial perspectives in global and local contexts.

�� Why It Matters

In an era of rapid globalization, linguistic erosion, cultural hybridity, and identity contestation, LinguaCultura provides a critical platform for exploring the role of language and literature in shaping the narratives of people, places, and power.

The journal champions culturally responsive, decolonial, and inclusive scholarship that reflects the complexities of voice and representation in multilingual societies. It highlights the enduring relevance of language and literature in understanding the human condition, fostering critical consciousness, and promoting cultural sustainability.
