Journal: The Journal of Comparative Germanic Linguistics
Issue: Syntactic Variation in Germanic Languages
Call Deadline: 30-Jun-2026

The Journal of Comparative Germanic Linguistics provides a platform
for discussion of theoretical linguistic research into the modern and
older languages and dialects of the Germanic family. Contributions
that establish robust empirical generalizations within a formal theory
of grammar that permit precise discussions are welcome. The empirical
range of the work may either involve cross-linguistic comparison
within the Germanic family or elucidate issues in Germanic linguistics
through the exemplary analysis of one Germanic language.
This Collection explores syntactic variation in Germanic languages. It
welcomes studies on both contemporary and historical varieties, aiming
to uncover how various grammatical processes reflect broader
linguistic patterns and change.
Understanding syntactic variation is key to understanding language
change. Recent developments in generative linguistics and language
contact research have introduced new tools for analyzing these
phenomena across dialects and sociolects. Future research may shed
light on cognitive aspects of syntactic variation, multilingual
syntactic choices, and the impact of language contact on grammar.
Topics of interest include:
 - Syntactic variation in Germanic dialects
 - Grammaticalization processes
 - Language contact and syntactic change
We invite submissions addressing these and related topics.
