<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#202122">In the recent years t</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">he study of language variation from a geographical perspective has become the subject of
renewed interest. Linguistic typology has highlighted the importance of linguistic areas upon the observation that the centuries-old coexistence of languages in the same geographical space results in their sharing structural properties. At the same time,
new developments in the study of language and dialect contact and bilingualism have enriched the theoretical frameworks related to the study of linguistic changes across space. Likewise, the creation of new corpora and databases that allow accessing historical
data of individual languages sorted by geographical origin is facilitating the creation of renewed historical investigations that consider the spatial factor. Finally, the availability of digital tools (such as OpenStreetMap) and the capabilities afforded
by massive geolocalized data from social media apps offer unprecedented possibilities for observing the diffusion of changes in real time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Taking advantage of the aforementioned advances, this volume seeks to take a new look at the interplay between geographical variation and language
change. In sum, scholars are invited to contribute their original and unpublished research on the topic of the spatial diffusion of linguistic changes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
