About the journal
 Language Variation and Change is the only journal dedicated exclusively to the study of linguistic variation and the capacity to deal with systematic and inherent variation in synchronic and diachronic linguistics. Sociolinguistics involves analysing the interaction of language, culture and society; the more specific study of variation is concerned with the impact of this interaction on the structures and processes of traditional linguistics. Language Variation and Change concentrates on the details of linguistic structure in actual speech production and processing (or writing), including contemporary or historical sources.
Instructions to Authors
Language Variation and Change
Language Variation and Change publishes original research reports that are based on data of language production, either oral or written, from contemporary or historical sources. Articles with substantive content are preferred over those that are solely argumentative; those that synthesize or reanalyze a number of research findings on substantive issues will also be considered. Conforming to scientific methodology, the reported findings should be fully replicable from the information provided. Contributions may be submitted from all countries. The usual language of publication is English, although articles in French are also welcome. All submissions should be submitted electronically and by postal mail.
Please send both a Word and PDF version to lvcjournal@psu.edu, and two hard copies to:

Submission of an article is taken to imply that it has not been previously published or is not being
considered for publication elsewhere. If an author is publishing a related article, this fact should be stated.
Copyright. Contributors of accepted articles will be asked to assign their copyrights. on certain conditions
to Cambridge University Press, to help protect their material, particularly in the U.S.A.
Manuscript preparation and style
Manuscripts should be clearly typed on 8 1/2 x 11 or A4 white bond paper. The inclusion of separate files
containing text, artwork, and appropriate software, along with the soft copy, may facilitate editing. The
entire manuscript - including abstract, endnotes, references, and tables - must be double-spaced and
numbered consecutively. For the initial submission, tables and figures may be included in the running text.
The article should be arranged as follows:
Title Page ( page 1). To facilitate blind reviews, all indication of authorship must be limited to this page.
Other pages must only show the short title plus page number in the upper right corner. The title page
includes (a) full title, (b) names and affiliations of all authors, (c) mailing address and phone number of the
lead author (d) address to which offprints should be sent (if not the lead author), (e) short title of less than
50 characters.
Abstract (page 2). Include the full title and the abstract. Abstracts should not exceed 150 words.
Acknowledgments (page 2). Place below the abstract. Use this section to indicate any grant support,
substantial assistance in the preparation of the article, or any other author notes.
Text (page 3). Use a 5-character paragraph indent. Do not hyphenate words or justify the right margin.
Underscore material that is to be italicized in print. Glosses should be placed within single quotation marks.
References are to be made in the text (not in the endnotes) by giving in parentheses the name of the author,
year of publication, and, where relevant, the page(s) referred to: (Vincent, 1982:90-91).1f the author's name
is part of the text, the following form should be used: 'Vincent ( 1982) listed several....' For multi-authored
works, only the first citation should list all authors: (Weinreich, Labov & Herzog, 1968). In subsequent
citations, only the first name should be given, followed by 'et al.': (Weinreich et al., 1968). Separate works
referred to in the same parentheses should be listed in alphabetical order; those by the same author should
be separated by commas, and those by different authors by semi-colons: (Lépez Morales, 1981; Vincent,
1981,1982). Initials should be used (before the author's name) only when it is necessary to distinguish
between two or more authors with the same surname referred to in the same article.
All works referred to in the text must be listed in the reference section, double-spaced and in alphabetical
order.

Endnotes may be used when more than a simple citation is required. Notes should be numbered
consecutively throughout the text and typed together on a separate page preceding the reference section.
Tables. Tables must appear as a unit following the reference section. Each table should be typed double-
spaced, on a separate sheet, numbered consecutively with an Arabic numeral and a short title. All tables
must be cited in the text.
Figures. Figures must appear as a unit following the tables. Figures must be ready for photographic
reproduction: for photographs, an 8" x 10" on glossy, or for diagrams, professionally rendered or computer
generated. All labels and details must be clearly printed and large enough to remain legible at a 50%
reduction. Each figure must be numbered consecutively with an Arabic number. Descriptive legends must
be typed together, double-spaced, on a separate sheet preceding the artwork. Artwork should be identified
by number and title on the back and carefully packaged in a protective envelope. All figures must be cited
in the text.
