ISLS Volume Series


The Readings in Language Studies Volume Series publishes writings featuring a range of stylistic (essay, oral history, artistic-expressive, and technical) and research approaches to language studies. The series includes singularly-topical and general volumes. Drawing from open calls for contributions and ISLS conference proceedings, the volume series is useful to a wide variety of scholarly disciplines, classroom and research contexts, and international fora. Books in this series may be cross-referenced with the Language Studies Course and Practice-Based Series.

Volume 1 Call for Chapters


The Language Studies Course and Practice-Based Series publishes texts that are intended for teaching purposes in the area of language studies. Candidate books, at the graduate or undergraduate level, should have a well-defined target audience, a focus on emergent and rapidly developing areas of interest and/or underrepresented areas of the professional knowledge base, and the potential to impact future stewards, leaders, and scholars in the field. Book proposals for this series may be cross-referenced with the Readings in Language Studies Volume Series. Book proposals must include four collegial letters of support only one of which may come from the first author’s institution.




The Emergent Scholars in Language Studies Volume Series publishes the work of authors engaged in advanced graduate studies and newly minted graduates of doctoral programs. Contributions include, but are not limited to, comprehensive literature reviews, theoretical framing of issues and problems, original research, and reports of completed dissertations. First author status is reserved for the graduate student; an advising professor must be recognized within the by-line of the contribution and may be listed as second author.
