Last year, the 24th meeting of NWAVE was held at the University of Pennsylvania, and the Penn Linguistics Club took this opportunity to put together a selection of papers from NWAVE 24. These have been published as part of the UPenn Working Papers in Linguistics series. We are now pleased to announce the availability of: _(N)WAVES and MEANS: A selection of papers from NWAVE 24. University of Pennsylvania Working Papers in Linguistics_ 3, 1. pp276. The papers are a small, but we hope representative, selection of the themes of the conference. It includes several papers looking at syntactic variation (within formal and functional frameworks), papers which look at the gap between perception and production in unstable (changing or L2) sound systems, a group of papers dealing with speakers' positioning of selves within social space by choosing one of several speech varieties or linguistic markers available to them, and papers in social dialectology. The full Table of Contents follows. Copies of (N)WAVES and MEANS can be ordered from the UPenn Linguistics Club for $12 each.
