Focus and Scope
Linguæ & is a peer-reviewed journal which provides a new outlet for interdisciplinary research on language and literature, giving voice to a cross-cultural and multi-genre koine. While the idea for the journal was developed in the ambit of the post-graduate programme in European Intercultural Studies at the University of Urbino, Italy, its scope goes far beyond that of exploring pre-established cultural paradigms. Indeed, its strongly experimental and dialogic approach to the ongoing debate should serve as encouragement for the submission of new work by young researchers. Studies from a wide range of disciplines are welcome and will, each in their own way, contribute to the exploration and definition of a particularly complex field characterised by over-lapping, interwoven contributions and at times even unresolved differences. Thus, the journal constitutes a unique arena for exchanges of opinion, and should foster the bringing together of ideas, laying the groundwork for a new cultural itinerary. No one language will be privileged in the journal, nor will any single culture predominate. The studies published will themselves, from one issue to the next, define the character of the journal: not for the sake of obtaining an “eclectic” array of contributions, but rather to leave ample room for the many voices which are currently enlivening the scholarly debate on linguistic, cultural and literary topics. | Linguæ & è una rivista “peer-reviewed” che vuole aprire uno spazio di ricerca interdisciplinare a chi si interessa di lingue e letterature come espressioni di una koiné culturale che attraversa le frontiere e i generi. Nata dall’esperienza del Dottorato di ricerca in Studi interculturali europei attivato presso il Dipartimento di Scienze della Comunicazione, Studi Umanistici e Internazionali: Storia, Culture, Lingue, Letterature, Arti, Media dell’Università di Urbino, la rivista non si pone l’obiettivo di muoversi su paradigmi culturali già consolidati, bensì di fornire un approccio interlocutorio quanto più ampio possibile, aperto anche alle ipotesi di ricerca di giovani studiosi. Senza rinunciare alla propria specificità, ogni area disciplinare può contribuire a delineare le coordinate di un territorio segnato da intrecci, sovrapposizioni e conflitti non sempre risolti. Si disegna così la mappa culturale di un percorso che si fa luogo di confronto e di ricomposizione. Nessuna lingua, perciò, sarà privilegiata, né alcuna cultura assumerà carattere dominante all’interno della rivista: saranno gli apporti che vi compariranno a definire – di volta in volta – il profilo di ogni fascicolo. Questo non per un acritico eclettismo, ma per lasciare spazio alle molteplici voci che vivacizzano l’attuale dibattito linguistico, culturale e letterario. |

- Authorship of the Paper: Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Where there are others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included on the paper, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.
- Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.
- Fundamental errors in published works: When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author’s obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.
Reviewers of must undertake the following responsibilities
- Contribution to Editorial Decisions: Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and through the editorial communications with the author may also assist the author in improving the paper.

- Confidentiality: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.
- Standards of Objectivity: Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.
- Acknowledgement of Sources: Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.
- Disclosure and Conflict of Interest: Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
