Aim
The
Tasambo Journal of Language, Literature, and Culture (Tasambo JLLC) is a
peer-reviewed, open-access academic journal dedicated to advancing scholarly
research in language studies, literary criticism, and cultural analysis. The
journal aims to provide a rigorous platform for scholars, particularly those
working within African contexts, to disseminate original research, engage in
theoretical debates, and contribute to the preservation and documentation of
linguistic and cultural heritage. Tasambo JLLC seeks to bridge
indigenous African scholarly traditions with global academic discourses while
maintaining the highest standards of peer review and editorial integrity.
Scope
The
journal welcomes submissions across a broad range of subfields, including
linguistics (phonology, syntax, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, language
documentation, translation studies, and language policy), literary studies
(oral and written traditions, prose, poetry, drama, African literatures in
English and Hausa, postcolonial theory, and comparative literature), and
cultural studies (cultural theory, popular culture, media studies, heritage,
memory, identity politics, gender studies, and globalization). Special
attention is given to Nigerian and West African contexts, particularly the
Hausa language and its literary and cultural productions, though comparative
and global perspectives are also encouraged. The journal accepts original
research articles, theoretical essays, review articles, book reviews, and short
research notes.
