Focus and Scope

Ethiopian Journal of Language, Culture and Communication welcomes submission of empirical studies, literature reviews, book reviews, and short communications on issues pertaining to humanities (in particular literature, culture, journalism, media, communication and language education).

EJLCC covers the full scope from linguistics (including phonetics/phonology, morphology, lexicology, semantics, syntax, text linguistics, pragmatics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, lexicography, discourse analysis, corpus linguistics, etc.) on the one hand to language teaching on the other. One of the targets of this journal is to show the enormous performance of linguistics for efficient language teaching on both L1 and L2 context.

It also accepts manuscripts focusing on cultural and literary studies covering a wide range of researches on folklore, oral literature, world literature, Ethiopian literature, contemporary literature, comparative literature, literary theories, literary criticism and narratology.

Regarding media and communication studies, EJLCC views the field as a coherent discipline in which all different aspects of journalism, media, public relations, communication are linked by common processes, structures, theories, and methods despite the diverse structure and interests, each representing a special subfield of communication processes and phenomena. To advance its commitment to excellence in communication scholarship, journalism, media research, and application, EJLCC accepts innovative and influential publications that chart new courses in their respective fields of study.
