It is my firm belief that LVYB might well play an integral role in future research shedding light on both linguistic theory and explaning variation. The contributions to the first issue set a high standard which carries over the second issue, confirming this belief so far. [...] LVYB can, and possibly should, be seen as a new platform for researchers interested in linguistic variation to develop new theoretical approaches with consequences for more than one (narrowly defined) part of the grammar. [...] In other words, taking a wider minimalist-cognitive perspective [...] opens the door to a whole new world of research.

The work appearing in the volume is exciting, meticulously carried out, and methodologically solid.
