Aims & Scope

This journal aims to report research on the description and analysis of variation and change from the Asia-Pacific region.

The journal encourages research that is firmly based on empirical data and quantitative analysis of variation and change as well as the social factors that are reflected and constructed through language variation and change.

Though much of the research is expected to be based on new speech data and fieldwork, the language data may be either oral or written, including both modern and historical resources.

The unique emphasis of the journal is to promote understanding of the multifaceted linguistic communities of Asia-Pacific.
