factors 
-	Theories, especially socio-cultural ones, which aim to explain how and
why languages change
-	Developments or modifications of cultural identities as a function of
linguistic change or contact
-	Arenas of human interaction that are fertile grounds for language change
-	Socio-cultural factors that drive similarities and differences within
languages, and within patterns of linguistic change

Language and the Unified Linguist Style Sheet--available through the
Linguist List.

submissions should be between 1,000-2,000 words.

A separate title page should include the author's name, e-mail address and
