John Benjamins Publishing announces that Linguistic Variation (LV), 
the continuation of the Linguistic Variation Yearbook, now has a 
publishing frequency of two numbers per year.

Linguistic Variation is an international, peer-reviewed journal that 
focuses on the theoretical 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, identifying possible loci of variation, investigating 
what the variable properties of natural language reveal about its 
underlying invariant core, and conversely, exploring the range and type 
of variation that arises from the interaction between several invariant 
principles.

Empirically, these issues can be investigated on the level of both intra- 
and interlinguistic differences, of closely related languages 
(microvariation, dialectology) and larger typological groups 
(macrovariation). Theoretically, these questions can be addressed from 
the point of view of syntax, morphology, phonology, phonetics, 
acquisition, psycholinguistics and semantics.

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 language 
faculty.
