New journal focusing on Asia-Pacific

(Apologies for multiple postings)


John Benjamins Publishing Company is pleased to announce a new journal:

*Asia-Pacific Language Variation* (APLV)

This journal aims to report research on the description and analysis of
variation and change from the Asia-Pacific region. The journal encourages
research that is firmly based on empirical data and quantitative analysis
of variation and change as well as the social factors that are reflected
and constructed through language variation and change. Though much of the
research is expected to be based on new speech data and fieldwork, the
language data may be either oral or written, including both modern and
historical resources.

The unique emphasis of the journal is to promote understanding of the
multifaceted linguistic communities of Asia-Pacific.

APLV invites original articles on all aspects of language variation and
change that are firmly grounded in traditions of empirical research and
quantitative methods. Articles are welcome from all aspects of language
inquiry dealing with language variation. We especially welcome articles on
lesser reported languages, restructured varieties and the articles that
report on locally relevant social factors. The journal also welcomes
language descriptions based on innovative methods with an interest in
variation. Apart from publishing regular research articles, the journal
also intends to promote awareness about the languages and communities of
the region. Such information would be published in the form of short notes.
