Issue type: Regular IssueIssue title: NoneIssue DOI: 10.22363/2521-442X-2025-9-4
Pages: 1–137Contributors: 18Type of Access: Open Access

This issue presents work that stays close to language as it is actually used: in meetings, in classrooms, in research writing, in interviews, and in the informal spaces where learners speak to one another. The studies differ in topic, yet they share a steady interest in how people choose their words when they need to act, explain, justify, or position themselves. Several contributions draw attention to the small devices that steady an utterance or give it a particular colouring; others show how long-established linguistic thinking can sit alongside newer digital tools without losing its footing. Readers who work with spoken or written data – whether as analysts, teachers, or supervisors of student writing – will recognise questions that arise in their own practice. The volume may also appeal to those who prefer studies built on close engagement with real material rather than heavily theorised accounts.

Pages: 1–132Contributors: 16Type of Access: Open Access

We are pleased to introduce this special issue prepared in collaboration with our guest editor, Dr. Roza A. Valeeva, Professor of Pedagogy at Kazan Federal University and a leading scholar in humanistic education. We thank Dr. Valeeva for her expertise and dedication in compiling this issue. The contributions gathered here reflect the changes currently redefining language education across the world. As classrooms expand outside of their physical boundaries through digital technologies, as learners grapple with their own motivation in ever more complex settings, and as multilingual realities influence policy and practice, researchers are offering fresh evidence and new perspectives. This issue assembles studies that are united by their concern with how language education adapts to these pressures, while each article foregrounds a different aspect of the global conversation.

From address forms and kinship systems to hashtags and vehicle naming, the studies reflect a shared commitment to understanding how language – spoken, written, or mediated – expresses local values and group identities. The issue is united by its focus on the everyday pragmatics of language use and the cultural logics that underlie them.

In this issue, the crux of the matter has to do mostly with one of the key political, economic and sociocultural issues of today – the so-called refugee crisis and the corresponding issues faced by numerous communities across the globe. As multiculturalism continues to advocate equal respect to the various cultures in a society and promote the maintenance of cultural diversity, the matters of language learning and teaching come to the forefront highlighting the need for initiatives to support children and adult education in the context of the ever-shifting geopolitical developments.

In such an uncertain world of political tension and complex social relations, how are linguists and cultural specialists to interpret it using language? Do we state the truth as we see it, modify it, avoid it or falsify it? In search for the answer, we have chosen George Carlin as our cover quotation this month, for a lot of language is about manipulating opinion and maybe avoiding the truth. Many of the articles this issue address this area of different uses of language.
