Discurso & Sociedad es una revista multidisciplinaria en línea de análisis del discurso cuyo objetivo es publicar artículos originales de alta calidad sobre el papel que juega el discurso (el lenguaje) en la construcción de las sociedades y de las relaciones que se dan en ellas. La revista se presenta como un espacio abierto al análisis lingüístico, social, político y crítico del discurso, entendido este como una herramienta capaz de hacer visibles las problemáticas y debates que se dan en las sociedades tanto actuales como en anteriores etapas. Discurso & Sociedad adopta una perspectiva crítica y comprometida a la vez que rigurosa tanto en lo que se refiere a las herramientas y metodologías de análisis como a los ámbitos a los que estos se aplican. Discurso & Sociedad busca artículos que analicen sistemática y explícitamente las estructuras y estrategias del discurso escrito o hablado. El marco teórico ha de considerar los desarrollos actuales e internacionales de los estudios del discurso. La revista no publica artículos exclusivamente teóricos por lo que los artículos tienen que basarse en el análisis de un corpus de discursos. Así, se admiten trabajos en los que se analicen discursos de temáticas diversas -discurso político, de la prensa y las redes sociales, lenguaje, lenguas, variación, discurso de la salud, de la educación, del trabajo, sobre las mujeres, colectivos marginados, minorías, etc.,- observados siempre desde una perspectiva crítica que ponga en evidencia el papel del lenguaje (el discurso) en la construcción y reproducción de desigualdades y asimetrías sociales y culturales. La revista está dirigida a personas investigadoras, profesorado, doctorandos y doctorandas, estudiantes universitarios o personas del ámbito de la Lingüística y de otras disciplinas que estén interesadas en los contenidos de la revista.
