The chapters included in the present volume constitute a selection from the papers presented at the International Symposium on Linguistic Diversity and Language Theories held in Boulder, Colorado in May 2003. The purpose of the Symposium was to identify hitherto unstated or understated fundamental issues in linguistic theories, taking into the account the rich variation of forms and functions observed in the languages of the world. We wished to examine the goals of both theories of language structure and theories of language evolution. An expected outcome of the symposium, although not explicitly stated, was an answer to the question of whether taking into consideration a wide rage of languages will result in changes in the categories, processes, and principles postulated by linguistic theories with respect to language structure and with respect to language change.
