About the Journal
International Journal of Multilingualism
and Languages for Specific Purposes
The International Journal of Multilingualism and Languages for Specific Purposes (IJMLSP) is an international, peer-reviewed, Diamond Open Access journal dedicated to advancing research in multilingualism, Languages for Specific Purposes (LSP), and specialized and professional communication. The journal provides a scholarly forum for original research examining how languages are used, taught, learned, and mediated across academic, professional, institutional, and specialized contexts.
IJMLSP brings together research from applied linguistics, multilingualism, LSP/ESP studies, language education, discourse and genre studies, translation and interpreting, terminology, and professional communication. The journal welcomes empirical, theoretical, methodological, and corpus-based research addressing the linguistic, pedagogical, sociocultural, technological, and institutional dimensions of specialized language practices.
Particular attention is given to research on multilingual and plurilingual practices, specialized discourse, academic and professional communication, language teaching and learning for specific purposes, cross-cultural communication, translation and terminology, digital and multimodal communication, and emerging language technologies. The journal also encourages comparative and interdisciplinary studies that illuminate language practices across disciplines, professions, cultures, and geographical contexts.
IJMLSP seeks to publish research that offers original theoretical insights, rigorous methodological approaches, and empirically grounded findings, while contributing to international scholarship and addressing the evolving language needs of academic, professional, and specialized communities.
