Language Variation - European Perspectives VI showcases a selection of papers from the 8th International Conference on Language Variation in Europe which was held in Leipzig in 2015. The volume includes plenaries by Miriam Meyerhoff and Steffen Klaere (?The large and the small of it: Big issues with smaller samples in the study of language variation?), Martin Haspelmath and Susanne Maria Michaelis (?Analytic and synthetic: Typological change in varieties of European languages?) and J?rgen Erich Schmidt (?Dynamics, variation and the brain?). In addition, the editors have selected 11 papers which exemplify the breadth of research on European languages. The contribution to this volume encompass languages as varied as Swedish, Greek, Galician, Dutch, German, Swedish, English (including English-lexified contact varieties), French, Spanish, Croatian, Luxembourgish and Romani. The variety of theoretical frameworks and methodological perspectives and particularly the combination of different methods attests to the scope of research currently being conducted on language variation and change in European languages.
