TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS is a series of books that open new perspectives in our understanding of
language. The series publishes state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across
theoretical frameworks as well as studies that provide new insights by approaching language
from an interdisciplinary perspective. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS considers itself a forum for
cutting-edge research based on solid empirical data on language in its various manifestations
including sign languages. It regards linguistic variation in its synchronic and diachronic
dimensions as well as in its social contexts as important sources of insight for a better
understanding of the design of linguistic systems and the ecology and evolution of language.
TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS publishes monographs and outstanding dissertations as well as edited
volumes which provide the opportunity to address controversial topics from different empirical
and theoretical viewpoints. High quality standards are ensured through anonymous reviewing. To
