Each issue focuses on a single topic within the scope of the journal's field, for example "Sociolinguistic Issues in Azerbaijan", "The Official Language Minorities in Canada" and "Jewish Language Contact".[2] Each issue also publishes a book review and many issues also include a study relating to the sociology of endangered languages or small language communities.
