International Journal of Language Academy
Dear IJLA Readers,
As the editors of the special issue entitled “Migration, Language and Translation”, we are so honored to welcome you all to the readership of our journal. The migration wave led by the civil war and political instability in the Middle East has appeared as the severest humanitarian crisis since the World War II. Today, millions of people experience communication problems in the context of different languages and cultures due to migration. In this regard, translation/interpreting phenomenon rises to prominence, which is today an important element especially in the international communication. Therefore, we decided to touch on translation / interpreting studies, together with language research in the context of migration. In the current special issue, there are totally 13 research papers dealing with translation / interpreting studies and language research from different perspectives. Eight of these papers were presented orally in International Migration and Communication Congress (IMCC 2018), which was organized by Sakarya University on September 27-28, 2018.
Last but not least, we would like to extend our special thanks and appreciation first to those who supported IJLA, our authors, reviewers and readers; then to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ahmet AKKAYA and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ömer Tuğrul KARA for their self-sacrifice to make IJLA a high quality journal. We hope that the research articles in this special issue will broaden your academic perspective.
