Aims & Scope

Linguistic Variation is an international, peer-reviewed journal that focuses on the study of linguistic variation.

It seeks to investigate to what extent the study of linguistic variation can shed light on the broader issue of language-particular versus language-universal properties, on the interaction between what is fixed and necessary on the one hand and what is variable and contingent on the other.

This enterprise involves properly defining and delineating the notion of linguistic variation by identifying loci of variation.

What are the variable properties of natural language and what is its invariant core?
