Roman">The fact of language “contact” and its impact on the dynamics of language are recognized today. Questions relating to this topic no longer derive from marginal studies nor from the treatment of “special cases": whether the issue is to understand the evolution of languages, their structural and material transformations, or simply to take account of their ordinary use, language contact is omnipresent.<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></SPAN></div> <div class=MsoBodyTextIndent style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 6pt"><SPAN lang=EN-GB><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>We would like JLC to focus on the study of language contact, language use and language change in accordance with a view of language contact whereby both empirical data (the precise description of languages and how they are used) and the resulting theoretical elaborations (hence the statement and analysis of new problems) become the primary engines for advancing our understanding of the nature of language. And this will involve
associating linguistic, anthropological, historical, and cognitive factors. We believe such an approach could make a major new contribution to understanding language change at a time when there is a notable increase of interest and activity in this field.</FONT></SPAN></div> <div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 6pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.25in; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman"><SPAN lang=EN-GB style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">JLC should provide a forum for discussion of general perspectives and should accept contributions of any orientation on the principle that reasoned argumentation will enrich our understanding of language contact.</SPAN><SPAN lang=EN-GB style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></FONT></div> <H3 style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 6pt" align=center><B><SPAN lang=EN-GB style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"><FONT size=5>Call for papers<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></B></H3> <div class=MsoNormal
