Editorial Preface

Leeds Working Papers in Linguistics and Phonetics (LWPLP) is a peer reviewed journal which publishes reports on research in linguistics, language studies, phonetics, and translation studies by staff and students at the University of Leeds. First published in 1983, the journal was revived in 1998 by Paul Foulkes (now at the University of York) and Diane Nelson.

Since then, it has published research papers by staff and postgraduate students in Linguistics and Phonetics, The School of Modern Languages and Cultures, and also from outside of the University of Leeds. Since 2006, the journal has been run entirely online.
