‘Studies in Pragmalinguistics’ (‘Studia Pragmalingwistyczne”) is a peer-reviewed annual journal published by the Institute of Applied Polish Studies at the Faculty of Polish Studies (University of Warsaw, Poland). Opened to researchers with different academic backgrounds and from diverse academic communities in Poland, the journal is devoted to disseminate investigation in linguistic communication of human being. ‘Studies in Pragmalinguistics” provide results in interdisciplinary research in linguistic and communication behavior. The content covers numerous topics within humanities and social sciences, including linguistics, speech language pathology, psychology, didactics of Polish (along with teaching Polish as a foreign language), publishing, rhetoric, media studies. The interdisciplinary approach is hereby understood not only as crossing borders between narrow fields of study, but also as combining a variety of techniques and research methods. The editorial board aspires to return to study verbal and nonverbal communication as a whole, to describe and explain the phenomena of communication not due to requirements and determinants of already existing and recognized specializations, tools or historically motivated diversifications between areas of interest, but as they appear.
The journal is published in Polish, although it includes abstracts and table of contents in English.
Each issue consists of five sections:
- 1. articles and dissertations,
- 2. reports and reviews,
- 3. Institute of Applied Polish Studies’ chronicle,
- 4. abstracts of PhD and habilitus thesis,
- 5. Institute of Applied Polish Studies’ research bibliography.
