This is the third issue of volume 45 (2022) 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. Information on how to join can be found on the Association’s website https://www.cfl.aau.dk/nordic-association-of-linguists/.

The articles in this issue were all originally submitted for the special issue on ‘Heritage languages & bilingualism’, which appeared as issue 2 of volume 44 (2021). Many high-quality manuscripts were submitted for that issue, and the editorial team, together with the guest editors Yvonne van Baal and David Natvig, decided to publish a selection of the papers in the special issue and leave the remaining papers to be published in a later issue – and here they are. We would like to thank Yvonne van Baal and David Natvig for their excellent editorial work on all the papers on heritage languages and bilingualism.

This issue also contains the call for papers for the 2024 special issue on ‘Language outside the norm’. In 2022 the theme of the NJL special issue was ‘Easy Language research’, and in 2023 it will be ‘Language diversification in the Nordic languages’.

We would also like to remind our readers and potential contributors that there are four ways to contribute to NJL: (longer) articles, short communications, review articles, and book reviews. Short communications are like articles in that they are peer-reviewed, but they are different from articles in that they make it possible to state or illustrate an empirical point without necessarily giving a fully fledged and theoretically integrated analysis. Short communications are also appropriate for comments on articles published earlier in NJL. Manuscripts of articles and short communications will normally be read by three referees. Review articles are like regular articles in length and, like book reviews, they discuss a recent book of major importance or relevance to the NJL readership (or two or more books on the same topic); the greater length allows for more detailed and substantial evaluation and critique. Like book reviews, review articles are typically invited by the editors, but unsolicited submissions in this category will also be considered. Review articles are like articles in that they undergo peer review. All submissions, including book reviews and review articles, are to be submitted through NJL’s ScholarOne Manuscripts site: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/njl. General queries should be sent to .

Last but not least, we would like to express our heartfelt thanks, collectively and anonymously, to all reviewers who have reviewed manuscripts for the journal.
