Between 1988 and 1992, eight issues were published. In 1992 the journal was contracted to Longman and its name changed to Language and Literature. When Longman relinquished its journal activities in 1996, the journal was contracted to SAGE Publications. The name Parlance was revived in 2004 as the title of the newsletter of the Poetics and Linguistics Association.
