Full Title: Linguistic Variation 


Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics; Sociolinguistics; Typology 

Call Deadline: 15-Jun-2013 

Linguistic Variation is a 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.
