Penn Working Papers in Linguistics (PWPL) is an occasional series published by the Penn Graduate Linguistics Society at the University of Pennsylvania. The series has included volumes of previously unpublished work, or work in progress, by linguists with an ongoing affiliation with the department, as well as volumes of papers from New Ways of Analyzing Variation (NWAV) and the Penn Linguistics Conference (PLC).

This volume contains selected papers from NWAV 52, held from November 7 to 9, 2024, in Miami, Florida, and hosted by Florida International University and the University of Miami. We thank our authors for their contributions and their patience and understanding in this editing process.

Since volume 14.2, PWPL has been an internet-only publication. As of September 2014, the entire back catalog has been digitized and made available on ScholarlyCommons@Penn. Please continue citing PWPL papers or issues as you would a print journal article, though you may also provide the URL of the manuscript. An example is below:
