This is the first issue of volume 31 of the Nordic Journal of Linguistics. The NJL is the journal of the Nordic Association of Linguists. Individuals may subscribe to the Nordic Journal of Linguistics by joining the Nordic Association of Linguists. The NAL membership form can be found on the Cambridge University Press web site of the NJL, <http://uk.cambridge.org/journals/njl/>, as well as on the NAL web site, <http://cc.joensuu.fi/linguistics/nal>. We are well aware that there have been problems with joining the NAL in the not so distant past, but we have reasons to hope that soon such problems will only be a memory.
We are happy to announce that the issue 32.2 (2009) of the Nordic Journal of Linguistics will be a special issue on sociolinguistics, edited by Frans Gregersen and Unn Røyneland. For full details, see the call for papers immediately after this note.
