On behalf of IGALA, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank again the outgoing editors' term (Ann Weatherall, Elizabeth Stokoe and Georgina Turner) for their hard work and outstanding contribution towards strengthening the journal over the past few years.



For those of you who may be less familiar with the journal, Gender and Language is the journal of IGALA, and IGALA membership includes subscription to the journal. It encourages discussion and debate about the implications of different definitions of gender and different approaches to analyzing the production and interpretation of texts and speech. It welcomes research employing a range of linguistic approaches (e.g. conversation analysis, discourse and text analysis, ethnography of communication, pragmatics, variationist sociolinguistics, interactional sociolinguistics, stylistics) and from a variety of disciplines, including linguistics, anthropology, women and gender studies, education, philosophy, psychology, folklore, sociology, communication studies, queer studies, literary and cultural studies, as it aims to foster interdisciplinary discussion and dialogue among these disciplines.
