Aims & Scope

Concentric: Studies in Linguistics is a refereed, biannual journal, publishing research articles on all aspects of linguistic studies on the languages in the Asia-Pacific region. Review articles and book reviews with solid argumentation are also considered. The journal is indexed in Scopus, Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), Modern Language Association (MLA) Directory of Periodicals, MLA International Bibliography, Linguistics & Language Behavior Abstracts (LLBA), EBSCOhost, Communication & Mass Media Complete (CMMC), Airiti Library (AL), Taiwan Citation Index-Humanities and Social Sciences, and Taiwan Humanities Citation Index(THCI)-Level 1. First published in 1964 under the title,The Concentric, the journal aimed to promote academic research in the fields of linguistics and English literature, and to provide an avenue for researchers to share results of their investigations with other researchers and practitioners. Later in 1976, the journal was renamed as Studies in English Literature and Linguistics, and in 2001 was further renamed as Concentric: Studies in English Literature and Linguistics. As the quantity of research in the fields of theoretical linguistics, applied linguistics, and English literature has increased greatly in recent years, the journal has evolved into two publications. Beginning in 2004, these two journals have been published under the titles Concentric: Studies in Linguistics and Concentric: Literary and Cultural Studies respectively.
