Critical Language and Literary Studies (CLLS) is an international (double-blind) peer-reviewed journal dedicated primarily to the study of literature through contemporary critical, theoretical approaches. The journal publishes original research that advances scholarly understanding of literary texts and interpretive practices across linguistic, and geographical contexts. CLLS seeks to contribute to ongoing international debates in literary studies by fostering rigorous engagement with questions of representation, textuality, culture, and critical methodology.

 

CLLS welcomes original research articles that make a substantive contribution to literary studies and literary criticism. Areas of interest include literary and critical theory, and research that examines the relationship between literature and contemporary theoretical developments. Contributions must focus on individual texts and create a critical dialog with recent trends in literary theory.

 

CLLS also publishes selected research in language education where such work addresses language learning and teaching, pedagogy, curriculum development, language assessment, and educational technologies.

 

The journal prioritizes theoretically informed, methodologically rigorous, and internationally relevant scholarship. Particular emphasis is placed on research that engages critically with existing scholarship, advances new perspectives on literary and cultural questions, and contributes to ongoing scholarly conversations within the international research community.
