A journal dedicated to featuring top undergraduate research has published its second issue today.
‘Lifespans & Styles: Undergraduate Working Papers on Intraspeaker Variation’ is an online, open access journal for students who have conducted a study in a specific area of linguistics known as ‘intraspeaker variation’, which models patterns in how a single person uses language from one moment to the next.

The current issue features seven papers on a range of topics, several of which present novel findings that speak to some of the most cutting-edge issues in the field.
