Special Issue on

English Grammar, Vocabulary, and Pragmatics


English Grammar, Vocabulary, and Pragmatics seeks to explore the intricate structures, dynamic lexical systems, and contextual uses of English in diverse communicative settings. This theme encompasses studies on grammatical patterns, sentence structures, and morphosyntactic processes, alongside investigations into vocabulary development, lexical relations, and word usage across registers and domains. It also highlights the role of pragmatics in shaping meaning, examining how speakers employ language in interaction through speech acts, politeness, implicature, deixis, and discourse strategies. By integrating perspectives from theoretical, applied, and interdisciplinary approaches, the issue aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how grammar, vocabulary, and pragmatic choices function together to facilitate effective communication in academic, professional, and everyday contexts.


In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring English Grammar, Vocabulary, and Pragmatics. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:


  • Academic vocabulary
  • Collocation studies
  • Conversational analysis
  • Discourse coherence
  • Humor and irony
  • Idiomatic expressions
  • Intercultural pragmatics
  • Lexical semantics
  • Morphological analysis
  • Politeness strategies
  • Pragmatic failure
  • Pragmatic markers
  • Sentence structure
  • Speech act theory
  • Tense and aspect
