Dear Colleagues,

The third varia volume of the Journal of Language Contact is herewith 
published and the third thema issue shall appear by end of 2010. The 
already published volumes have been well recognized in the academic 
field of language contact studies and the international academic 
affiliations of the contributors, the thematic richness of the articles and 
the scientific quality may be interpreted as a confirmation of the 
journal's success. JLC is in the fore in its domain on an international 
level and has received international attention. However, despite its 
recognition it received not enough publishing support.

The attention of publishing house Brill in Leiden has, as a 
consequence of its international recognition, been attracted to the 
development of the journal. Brill contacted the editors and proposed to 
continue the publication and diffusion of the Journal of Language 
Contact one year ago. After examination of the offer and one year of 
negotiations the editors have finally accepted because the 
engagement and experience of Brill will guarantee the continuity of the 
journal and provide the necessary publishing support, hosting and 
promotion?while the scientific independence will be left untouched. 
Although the future volumes of the journal will no longer be open 
access, a moderate price schedule has been agreed on.

This will change:

1)   One volume with two issues of JLC will appear per year as 
before. A distinction with the current practice is that most issues will be 
regular issues, but occasionally a thematic issue will be published 
which will be announced in advance. The number of pages will remain 
350 pp. per year.

2)   Starting from volume 4, JLC will be published online and in print, 
distributed under the terms of subscription of BrillL.

3)   The mode of publication of the actual issues varia 3 and thema 3 
(volume 3) is and will be still open access. All articles can be 
downloaded without charge as before.

4)   All issues and articles up to volume 3 will remain open access and 
can be downloaded without charge as before. They will be however 
accessible under the new future domain and are hosted then on the 
new website of the journal at Brill.
