Aim:

The International Journal of Literature and Languages (IJLL) aims to advance scholarly research and discourse in the fields of literature and languages by publishing high-quality, peer-reviewed articles. Our goal is to provide a global platform for the exploration and discussion of literary texts, linguistic phenomena, and their interconnections, fostering a deeper understanding of language and literature across cultures and time periods. We are dedicated to promoting innovative research and interdisciplinary approaches that enrich the study of both fields.
