Associate editors are Valerie Adams of UCL (Reviews) and Douglas Biber of Northern Arizona University (North America). There is a distinguished international Editorial Board. ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS, published twice a year, is an international journal which focuses on the description of the English language within the framework of contemporary linguistics. The journal is concerned equally with the synchronic and the diachronic aspects of English language studies and will publish articles of the highest quality which make a substantial contribution to our understanding of the structure and development of the English language and which are informed by a knowledge and appreciation of linguistic theory. ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS will carry articles and short discussion papers or squibs on all core aspects of English from its beginnings to the present day, including syntax, morphology, phonology, semantics, pragmatics, corpus linguistics and lexis. There will also be a major review section including from time to time articles that give an overview of current research in particular specialist areas. From time to time an issue will be devoted to a special topic, when a guest editor will be invited to commission articles from leading specialists in the field. A number of papers have been commissioned, and we invite contributions and inquiries. The stylesheet for contributors will be available shortly.
