<BLOCKQUOTE><?fontfamily><?param Times New Roman><?x-tad-bigger><BR>Purpose<BR><?/x-tad-bigger><?/fontfamily></BLOCKQUOTE><?flushboth>
<BLOCKQUOTE><?fontfamily><?param Times New Roman><?x-tad-bigger>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.<BR>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.<BR>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.<?/x-tad-bigger><?bigger><?bigger><?x-tad-bigger><BR><?/x-tad-bigger><?/bigger><?/bigger><?/fontfamily></BLOCKQUOTE><?/flushboth><?center>
