FOCUS AND SCOPE
Diwan: Jurnal Bahasa dan Sastra Arab is a peer-reviewed, internationally oriented journal dedicated to advancing scholarly inquiry in Arabic linguistics and Arabic literary studies. The journal positions itself as a critical forum for rigorous, theoretically grounded research that engages with Arabic language and literature as its primary objects of analysis.
The scope of the journal encompasses two interrelated domains: (1) Arabic linguistics, including phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, lexicography, sociolinguistics, stylistics, rhetoric, discourse analysis, and translation studies as applied to Arabic texts and speech communities; and (2) Arabic literary studies, spanning classical and modern Arabic literature, literary criticism, narrative theory, genre analysis, literary history, philology and manuscript studies, comparative literature, and the rhetorical and aesthetic dimensions of Arabic literary texts.
The journal welcomes original research articles that demonstrate methodological rigor, theoretical depth, and substantive contribution to the field. Manuscripts may adopt qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods frameworks, provided that the primary focus remains on Arabic linguistic and literary texts. Studies engaging with classical heritage (turāth) and contemporary Arabic discourse are equally valued.
