First published in 1965 as “Language Education” and later changing to its current title in 1966, “Language Research” is a linguistics journal. The journal was previously published on a quarterly basis along with two English editions per year between 1984 (Vol. 20) and 2005 (Vol. 41). Between 2006 (Vol. 42) and 2011 (Vol. 47) it printed biannually, mainly focusing on English articles, and since 2012 (Vol. 48) it has been publishing three issues per year. Starting from 2016 (Vol. 52), the first two issues have been published as symposia in English and the third issue contains both English and Korean articles. “Language Research” contains a variety of studies associated with linguistics and language education (theory and practice).  

“Language Research” acquired its International Standard Serial Number (ISSN 0254-5574) in 1983 as the first domestic journal in the field of humanities and social sciences. Since publishing English editions biannually in 1984, it has grown into an international journal. In addition, selected as a registered journal by the Korean Research Foundation (KRF) in 2002, “Language Research”s thesis abstract is included in the international database “Linguistics and Language Behavior Abstracts” (LLBA) published in the United States.
