Directory         1.    Søren Wichmann, Language Dynamics and Change Message 1: Language Dynamics and Change Date: 30-Aug-2010 From: Søren Wichmann <wichmanneva.mpg.de> Subject: Language Dynamics and Change E-mail this message to a friend Full Title: Language Dynamics and Change Linguistic Field(s): Anthropological Linguistics; Genetic Classification; Historical Linguistics; Sociolinguistics; Typology Call Deadline: 31-Jan-2011 The journal Language Dynamics and Change (LDC) seeks submissions for its inaugural issue, scheduled to appear mid-2011. Articles having passed review will be posted online as soon as they have been processed, i.e. before the first issue proper, if possible. LDC covers both new and traditional aspects of the study of language change. Work on any language or language family is welcomed, as long as it bears on topics that are also of theoretical interest. A particular focus is on new developments in the field arising from the accumulation of extensive databases of dialect variation and typological distributions, spoken corpora, parallel texts, and comparative lexicons, which allow for the application of new types of quantitative approaches to diachronic linguistics. Moreover, the journal will serve as an outlet for increasingly important interdisciplinary work on such topics as the evolution of language, archaeology and linguistics ('archaeolinguistics'), human genetic and linguistic prehistory, and the computational modeling of language dynamics. Submissions should be sent to wichmanneva.mpg.de. Please consult the Instructions for Author(s) at http://www.brill.nl/ldc for more detail about the submission procedure.
