Language Variation and Change

《语言变异与变化》是唯一一本专门研究语言变异和处理共时和历时语言学中系统和内在变异能力的杂志。社会语言学包括分析语言、文化和社会的相互作用；更具体的变异研究涉及这种相互作用对传统语言学结构和过程的影响。语言的变异和变化主要集中在语言结构的细节上，在实际的语言生产和处理（或写作），包括当代或历史的来源。

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.
