Subject: Call for contributions edited volume: On the spatial diffusion of linguistic changes: new methods and theoretical perspectives


In the recent years the study of language variation from a
geographical perspective has become the subject of renewed interest.
Linguistic typology has highlighted the importance of linguistic areas
upon the observation that the centuries-old coexistence of languages
in the same geographical space results in their sharing structural
properties. At the same time, new developments in the study of
language and dialect contact and bilingualism have enriched the
theoretical frameworks related to the study of linguistic changes
across space. Likewise, the creation of new corpora and databases that
allow accessing historical data of individual languages sorted by
geographical origin is facilitating the creation of renewed historical
investigations that consider the spatial factor. Finally, the
availability of digital tools (such as OpenStreetMap) and the
capabilities afforded by massive geolocalized data from social media
apps offer unprecedented possibilities for observing the diffusion of
changes in real time.
Taking advantage of the aforementioned advances, this volume seeks to
take a new look at the interplay between geographical variation and
language change. In sum, scholars are invited to contribute their
original and unpublished research on the topic of the spatial
diffusion of linguistic changes.

Researchers interested in participating in the volume are invited to
send a title and a short provisional abstract of max. 300 words. The
proposed schedule for publication is as follows:

January 11, 2024: Send email to andres.enrique at uib.es to express
interest in contributing to the volume
April 1, 2024:  Manuscripts due
June 1, 2024: Double-blind peer review completed
June 15, 2024: Notification of acceptance
July 31, 2024: Corrections/revisions due
November 1, 2024: Book manuscript submitted to publisher

Please note that all manuscripts will be reviewed by the editors and
two external reviewers before a decision for inclusion in the volume
is made. The volume is expected to be published in early 2025.

Manuscripts should be written in English, using LSA format and style,
and should not exceed 8,000 words, including references and tables.

Submissions may be sent as Microsoft Word documents to the editors,
Andrés Enrique-Arias, Carlota de Benito Merino, or Florencio del
