Journal of Linguistic and Intercultural Education

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Linguistic and Intercultural Education - JoLIE is the yearly publication of the Centre for Research and Innovation in Linguistic Education (CIEL).

Affiliated with 1 Decembrie 1918 University of Alba Iulia, Romania, situated in Central Europe, at the crossroads between Romance, Slavic, German and Hungarian cultures and languages, JoLIE editors understand linguistic and intercultural education as paramount to constructing a global citizenship of culturally competent and aware individuals who display cultural insights and a sense of belonging to the humanity at large.

Language and culture are strictly related with each other in two directions.

On the one hand, semantic, cognitive and discourse structures of a language are shaped by the culture it is rooted in, on the other, language is the main instrument by which a community’s culture is manifestly expressed, made operational and further transmitted as legacy.

Thus, the scientific study of one particular language, as well as of language in general, cannot be carried out without a deep understanding of cultural features and the research methods shall always take into account such cultural aspects.

Moreover, the learning of a language, both mother tongue and second/foreign, requires the comprehension and internalisation of the cultural features it is related to.

Finally, spontaneous phenomena of linguistic interference in multilingual areas, as the ones that JoLIE covers, cannot be explained without taking into account the widest phenomenon of cultural interference, up to the construal of a new intercultural unit and novel cultural identities.
