Polylinguality and Transcultural Practices (PTP) journal is geared towards publishing the results of interdisciplinary research into indigenous languages, literatures and arts, processes of mass and literary bi- and translingualism, as well as transcultural practices that are invariably revealed in everyday life of a minority community. The entire world, including the Russian Federation, witnesses emerging language, literature and culture contacts, cultural (hybrid) models, special aesthetic and sociocultural phenomena, code switching, and transcultural communicative practices, which characterize fluidity and mutual adaptability of various linguistic and extralinguistic worldviews in everyday life. These phenomena are now explored by specialists in theoretical and applied linguistics, philosophy, literature, art and culture studies. By uniting scholars of various fields and providing resources to inform the readership about achievements in related areas, we serve as an important platform for exchanging research results and producing new knowledge. Along with research articles the journal publishes state-of-the-art papers and reviews. English and Russian are publication languages. Journal history (see here).
