I've just received my copy of the first issue of the new journal "English Language and Linguistics" (Cambridge UP). To quote from the editor's note: ELL, published twice a year, is a new 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. More info is available at their website (http://www.cup.cam.ac.uk/Journals/JNLSCAT/ell/ell.html). ELL is edited by Bas Aarts, David Denison, and Richard Hogg. I like it especially as I'm interested in historical English linguistics, but the journal is not restricted to that subject. Mieke Mieke Koppen Tucker Bishop's University Lennoxville, Que. Canada
