Linguistic Variation Yearbook 2002

“It is my firm belief that LVYB might well play an integral role in future research shedding light on both linguistic theory and explaning variation. The contributions to the first issue set a high standard which carries over the second issue, confirming this belief so far. [...] LVYB can, and possibly should, be seen as a new platform for researchers interested in linguistic variation to develop new theoretical approaches with consequences for more than one (narrowly defined) part of the grammar. [...] In other words, taking a wider minimalist-cognitive perspective [...] opens the door to a whole new world of research.”

“The work appearing in the volume is exciting, meticulously carried out, and methodologically solid.”
