Language and Literature - Impact Factor, Indexing, Rank, and APC 2025

Aims & Scope

Language and Literature is an invaluable international peer-reviewed journal that covers the latest research in stylistics, defined as the study of style in literary and non-literary language.

We publish theoretical, empirical and experimental research that aims to make a contribution to our understanding of style and its effects on readers.

Topics covered by the journal include (but are not limited to) the following: the stylistic analysis of literary and non-literary texts, cognitive approaches to text comprehension, corpus and computational stylistics, the stylistic investigation of multimodal texts, pedagogical stylistics, the reading process, software development for stylistics, and real-world applications for stylistic analysis.

We welcome articles that investigate the relationship between stylistics and other areas of linguistics, such as text linguistics, sociolinguistics and translation studies.

We also encourage interdisciplinary submissions that explore the connections between stylistics and such cognate subjects and disciplines as psychology, literary studies, narratology, computer science and neuroscience.

Language and Literature is essential reading for academics, teachers and students working in stylistics and related areas of language and literary studies.
