NOW AVALIABLE: Estudios de Sociolinguistica. Linguas, sociedades e culturas. Editors: Xoan Paulo Rodriguez-Ya�ez, Anxo M. Lorenzo-Suarez & Fernando Ramallo (University of Vigo). ISSN: 1576-7418 Volume 1,1 (2000) 'Estudios de Socioling��stica' (EdS) is published by the University of Vigo. Our principal objective with this new journal is to contribute to the divulging of international knowledge and research about sociolinguistics, and to offer another forum for debates on key issues relating languages to societies and cultures. This journal is born with specific traits, that might help to characterize it. EdS comes out in Galicia, a peripherical European area. In this sense, we adopt a sensibility and point of view of minority languages; and also, in general terms, we feel that sociolinguistics carried out in the European periphery (among others, Galician sociolinguistics) should establish a direct relationship to international research tradition, and we expect to contribute in some way to this task. This first issue of EdS is a monographic volume on bilingualism. The fifteen contributions that here appear were presented as plenary conferences at the 'First International Symposium on Bilingualism: Bilingual Communities and Individuals', organized by the editors of this issue at the University of Vigo, and held in Vigo (Galicia, Spain) from the 21st to the 25th October 1997.
