John Benjamins is pleased to announce that as of Volume 19 (2019) the journal
Linguistic Variation will have a new Editorial team. Hedde Zeijlstra
(Georg-August-Universität Göttingen) has taken up the role of General Editor.
Associate Editors will be: Tanmoy Bhattacharya (University of Delhi), Claire
Halpert (University of Minnesota), Marjo van Koppen (Utrecht University),
Markus A. Pöchtrager (Bogaziçi University) and Emanuela Sanfelici (Università
degli Studi di Padova).

Linguistic Variation is an international, peer-reviewed journal that focuses
on the study of linguistic variation. It seeks to investigate to what extent
the study of linguistic variation can shed light on the broader issue of
language-particular versus language-universal properties, on the interaction
between what is fixed and necessary on the one hand and what is variable and
contingent on the other. This enterprise involves properly defining and
delineating the notion of linguistic variation by identifying loci of
variation. What are the variable properties of natural language and what is
its invariant core?

These questions can be addressed empirically by studying closely related
languages (microvariation, dialectology, sociolinguistic variation) and larger
typological groups (macrovariation), as well as by looking at language change
and language development. Theoretically, these questions can be addressed from
the point of view of syntax, morphology, phonology, phonetics, semantics, and
pragmatics.

Linguistic Variation aims to provide a forum for the discussion of these and
related topics. It welcomes both empirically and theoretically oriented papers
that further our understanding of linguistic variation by relating patterns of
variation to the organization of the human language faculty.
