This is the first issue of volume 39 of the Nordic Journal of Linguistics. NJL is the journal of the Nordic Association of Linguists. Individuals may subscribe to the Journal by joining the Nordic Association of Linguists. The NAL membership form can be found on the Cambridge University Press web site of NJL, http://journals.cambridge.org/NJL, as well as on the NAL web site, http://www.uef.fi/nal.

We would like to remind our readers and potential contributors that there are four ways to contribute to NJL: (longer) articles, short communications, book reviews and longer review articles. We would very much like to encourage contributions to NJL within all four categories. Short communications are like articles in being peer-reviewed, but different from articles in that in such a communication, it is possible to make or illustrate an empirical point without necessarily giving a fully fledged and theoretically integrated analysis. Also, short communications are appropriate for comments on earlier publications in the Journal. Review articles are like book reviews in discussing a recent book of major importance or relevance to the NJL readership (or two or more books on the same topic), but the greater length allows for more detailed and substantial evaluation and critique; as articles, they will also undergo peer review. Like book reviews, review articles will typically be invited by the Editors, but unsolicited submissions in this category are also welcome. Information concerning submissions and instructions for contributors can be found at http://journals.cambridge.org/NJL. For submissions and general queries, please use the editors’ email address: .

We are furthermore happy to announce that issue 40.2 (2017) of the Nordic Journal of Linguistics will be a special issue devoted to the topic ‘Receptive multilingualism: Multilingual resources in service of mutual understanding’, edited by Helka Riionheimo, Annekatrin Kaivapalu, and Hanna-Ilona Härmävaara. For full details, see the call for papers immediately after this note.
