Ampersand caters to a comprehensive audience, ranging from language researchers, applied linguists, psycholinguists, educators, practitioners, policymakers, to those with a general interest in language sciences. The journal aims to encourage the free exchange of information between researchers by being a forum for the constructive discussion and debate of issues in language sciences.
The journal welcomes all types of submissions: traditional 'full' research articles based on empirical work, methodological reports, meta-analyses, short communications, case studies, and literature reviews. Proposals for special issues that reflect current or emerging research trends in any of the coverage areas are also welcome and should be discussed with the Editor-in-Chief (jschwieter@wlu.ca).
