The contributions to the first issue set a high standard which carries over the second issue, confirming this belief so far. [...] LVYB can, and possibly should, be seen as a new platform for researchers interested in linguistic variation to develop new theoretical approaches with consequences for more than one (narrowly defined) part of the grammar. [...] In other words, taking a wider minimalist-cognitive perspective [...] opens the door to a whole new world of research." Kleanthes K. Grohmann, Department of English Studies, University of Cyprus, on Linguist List Vol. 15-2131 (2004) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject classification Linguistics Generative linguistics Theoretical linguistics Typology Linguistic Field(s): Sociolinguistics Syntax Linguistic Theories Semantics Typology Subject Language(s): Bengali (ben) Portuguese (por) Respond to list\|Read more issues\|LINGUIST home page\|Top of issue
