Music and the Language of Politics OR The Politics of Sound: Music, 
Political Discourse and Political Communication
Special Edition of Journal of Language and Politics (JLP)

Guest Editor: Lyndon CS Way

The Journal of Language and Politics examines politics within 
traditional areas of studies such as political speeches, political 
broadcasts, political campaign advertisements, news reporting and 
government statements, as well as in popular culture such as memes and 
television programmes. This special issue I am editing is concerned with 
the role of musical sounds in expressions of politics in both 
traditional political contexts such as anthems and party political 
broadcasts, as well as less traditional political contexts including 
popular music songs, promotional videos and live performances. There is 
considerable debate amongst music scholars as to what exactly are 
relations between music and politics. This edition aims to contribute to 
this debate by examining these relations from a wide range of 
perspectives which focus on the roles music plays when articulating 
politics.
The issue is provisionally booked for mid-2019 (paper version). To 
achieve this deadline, I need drafts of articles by the end of August 
2018, so that final papers can be finished by the end of December 2018 
for online publishing. Throughout this process, papers may be rejected 
for quality reasons. The papers should be a maximum of 8000 words all 
inclusive.
