A new journal issue, and a new journal section

2024-11-11

A new issue of the Journal of Language and Aging Research (vol. 2, no. 2) has been published!

Alongside the research articles that usually appear in the journal, with this issue a new section has been introduced: corpus presentations. These brief articles are included in the interest of Open Science, as a way to let those in the field of Language and Aging Research know about the sorts of corpora that other researchers have developed, and to provide information on how researchers might be able to use them in their own work.

The Journal of Language and Aging Research (JLAR) is a peer-reviewed open-access journal focusing on the intersection of aging and language. JLAR has been established in recognition of an emerging community of scholars that is working to discover what actually is happening with language during this varied yet universal process of aging we are all experiencing, and to provide a venue for those investigating this fertile topic to share their findings with each other and with the wider scholarly community.

In JLAR we adapt an inclusive approach, studying both language-related phenomena and the later stages of life in order to learn both about and from aging. By creating a journal dedicated only to the intersection of language and aging, we aim to allow for disciplinary diversity united by the common message that aging is linguistically highly relevant. JLAR is therefore meant to give comprehensive visibility to linguistic research on aging, and allow it to emerge from being unrepresented and underrepresented.
