Contrastive Pragmatics features online-first publication. Recently published articles can be found under the Advanced Articles link available in the Contents tab.
Contrastive Pragmatics: A Cross-Disciplinary Journal is a diamond open access journal, meaning neither authors nor readers pay any fees. It is published three times a year (as of 2022). The journal welcomes contributions that compare the use of language forms, realisation of speech acts, forms of interactional behaviour, and evaluative tendencies both across and within linguacultures. It also publishes contributions on the contrastive study of patterns of translation and language teaching. The journal provides a much-needed academic platform for corpus-driven and bottom-up research on language use, and for synergies between pragmatics, translation, intercultural communication, and language learning and teaching. The journal particularly welcomes research on lesser-studied linguacultures. It pays special attention to pragmalinguistics and its interfaces with sociopragmatics, corpus linguistics, grammar, language acquisition, and other areas. The journal is supported by Dalian University of Foreign Languages.
Peer Review Policy: Contrastive Pragmatics is a double-anonymous peer-reviewed journal. Each article published has been reviewed anonymously by at least two external reviewers. This includes articles published in special issues.
Contrastive Pragmatics is indexed by Scopus and ranked in Q1, with a CiteScore of 0.536.
Chinese Academy of Social Sciences journal ranking: Linguistics 80th; Literature 157th.
Contrastive Pragmatics has been evaluated by ANVUR (Italian National Evaluation System), and it is now a Class-A journal in Area 10/G1: Glottology and Linguistics (since 2025).

Discussion Note Instructions
Contrastive Pragmatics welcomes submission of discussion notes that engage with and provide focused commentary on any topic in the field of contrastive pragmatics, broadly construed, and its interfaces with pragmatics, translation, intercultural communication, and language learning and teaching.
In contrast to full research articles, discussion notes are more restricted in scope but still need to make a valuable contribution to the field. The discussion note seeks to bring a novel view to the attention of the journal’s readers. This may include, e.g. new ideas, perspectives, approaches advancing the field, exploratory findings, or issues that need revisiting or new conclusions. The discussion note should be broadly accessible and readable, and, for that reason, it may follow a less strict article outline, while otherwise adhering to research article conventions regarding, e.g. referencing.
Discussion notes submitted to Contrastive Pragmatics should be between 2000-4000 words, excluding references. Discussion notes can also be invited by members of the editorial team.
Discussion notes can be submitted online through the Editorial Manager. They undergo the same peer-review process as research article submissions.
For more details on online submission, please visit our EM Support page.
