 LANGUAGE
 VARIATION
 AND
 CHANGE
is a new journal devoted to the description and understanding of language
variability and change at the levels both of the individual speaker/hearer and
of the speech community. The journal concentrates on the details of structure
and process that have traditionally constituted the discipline of linguistics,
as they are reflected in actual language production and processing, and as
systematically analyzed using quantitative methods. The interaction between
language and society falls within the focus of the journal insofar as it
manifests itself in linguistic structure.

 William Labov, University of Pennsylvania (labovcentral.cis.upenn.edu)
 Anthony Kroch, University of Pennsylvania (krochlinc.cis.upenn.edu)
CALL FOR PAPERS:
The journal is now in a position to insure rapid publication, with a lead time
of approximately six months. We welcome submissions of original reports that
 are
based on data of language production, either oral or written, from both
contemporary or historical sources. The quantitative data should be used
to investigate linguistic problems with a clear relation to extant literature,
 and
findings should be reported in a way that is fully replicable from the
information provided.
LANGUAGE VARIATION AND CHANGE is published largely in English, though articles
in French can be accepted. All articles for submission should be sent in
triplicate in LANGUAGE format to: David Sankoff, Language Variation and
Change, Centre de recherches mathematiques, Universite de Montreal, C.P. 6128,
Succursale "A", Montreal, Canada, H3C3J7.
