Multilingual Matters Ltd is pleased to announce this new journal for 2000. It will provide major summative and review studies spanning and focusing the disparate language policy and language planning literature related to: 1) polities and 2) major issues in the field. The journal will bring together two types of material: "The Language Situation inÖ." and "Issues in Language Planning". The unique feature of the second section is the use of web database technology to invite comment on an extended abstract before publication of an issue and the papers for two or three months after publication. After the discussion is closed, the editors will prepare a digest for publication in a subsequent issue of the journal.
