Directory         1.     Jeff Good , Language Dynamics and Change Message 1: Language Dynamics and Change Date: 01-Jun-2011 From: Jeff Good <jcgoodbuffalo.edu> Subject: Language Dynamics and Change E-mail this message to a friend Full Title: Language Dynamics and Change Linguistic Field(s): Historical Linguistics Call Deadline: 01-Jul-2011 Language Dynamics and Change (LDC) is now accepting papers for the second issue of Volume 1. Manuscripts can be submitted for review via Editorial Manager at http://www.editorialmanager.com/ldc/. Language Dynamics and Change is an international peer-reviewed journal that 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. The following articles are to be published in the first issue: -Larry M. Hyman, The Macro-Sudan Belt and Niger-Congo Reconstruction -Brigitte Pakendorf, Koen Bostoen & Cesare de Filippo, Molecular Perspectives on the Bantu Expansion: A Synthesis -Lydia Steiner, Peter F. Stadler & Michael Cysouw, A Pipeline for Computational Historical Linguistics -Paul Huff & Deryle Lonsdale, Positing Language Relationships Using ALINE -Book review: The Evolution of Language by W. Tecumseh Fitch, Reviewed by Tao Gong & Qiang Wang Language Dynamics and Change is now in FastTrack (Advanced Online Publishing). This service ensures that accepted articles are available online shortly after proof correction, i.e., in advance of the journal issue in which they are published. FastTrack articles have a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) number which can be used for reference purposes.
