The Linguistics of Politics is the topic of 10plus1’s third issue. This vast field of applied linguistics traditionally encompasses the language of politicians, political parties, institutions and movements from a lexical, pragmatic, and text linguistic point of view (cf. Schröter & Carius 2012; Niehr 2014; Girnth 2015). In recent years, the focus has been extended to aspects of campaigns and campaigning (cf. Pappert 2011; Trent et al. 2011), political frame and framing (cf. Klein 2008; Wehling 2016), discourse linguistic questions (cf. Wengeler 2003; Spieß 2011; Roth 2015), and computer-mediated communication, particularly with respect to social media (cf. Diekmannshenke 2013) and an increasing orientation towards citizens and recipients (e.g. Social TV, cf. Klemm & Michel 2014a). The latter shows that methodologically there is a perceptible shift from a pure focus on analyses of products to a holistic capture of production (cf. Wodak 2015), product and reception processes of political language and communication (cf. Klemm & Michel 2014b).

Issue #3 welcomes contributions of all formats situated within the broad frame of the linguistics of politics. Papers may deal with specific aspects, or give an overview of a broader field of research. We also invite contributions focusing on theoretical and/or methodological issues.

10plus1’s second issue focuses on Contact Linguistics. Research within this field is highly diverse as it encompasses a whole range of phenomena related to language contact and investigates them from different theoretical and methodological angles. Topics include changes in one or more of the languages involved in a contact situation, for example through borrowing (e.g., Thomason/Everett 2005), language creation (e.g., Schröder/Rudd fc.), or language death (e.g., Romaine 2013), but also individual and societal bi-/multilingualism and the structural and sociolinguistic implications of these phenomena (e.g., Fuller 2012). Research may be diachronic (e.g., Schulte fc.) or synchronic (e.g., Migge 2015), deal with individual languages or multiple languages (Schneider 2003), and can consider living, endangered, or extinct languages.

Issue #2 welcomes contributions of all formats (see page 1) situated within the broad frame of Contact Linguistics. Papers may deal with specific aspects, or give an overview of a broader field of research. We also invite contributions focusing on theoretical and/or methodological issues.

Marion Schulte is Akademische Rätin at Bielefeld University. She studied English and Music at the universities of Siegen and Maynooth before joining Bielefeld University, where she received her doctorate for a thesis on the semantics of derivational morphology. Her research interests include morphology, language change, and sociophonetics. She is currently working on the semantic integration of borrowed morphology into English as well as the sociophonetics of Irish English.
