Slovo a slovesnost is a refereed scholarly journal, the main aim of which is to publish studies on language and communication based on quality research (either empirical or theoretical-conceptual). The journal publishes original work in areas including grammar, semantics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, conversation analysis,psycholinguistics, text linguistics, semiotics, translation theory and literary theory.The journal continues in the tradition of the Prague School, while acknowledging at the same time that this tradition is and always has been merely one of many approaches to language and communication. For this reason, the journal is also open to work based in other scholarly traditions. As a journal published “in the heart of Europe”, Slovo a slovesnost gives preference to studies on languages used in the European space.
