Apologies for cross-postings

Multilingual Matters is pleased to announce the publication of the first
issue of our new journal: International Journal of Multilingualism.

Edited by Jasone Cenoz (University of Basque Country) and Ulrike Jessner
(University of Innsbruck), the International Journal of Multilingualism
is a scientific journal dedicated to the study of pscyholinguistic,
sociolinguistic and educational aspects of multilingual acquisition and
multilingualism. It goes beyond bilingualism and second language
acquisition by focusing on different issues related to the acquisition
and use of additional languages as well as sociolinguistic and
educational contexts involving the use of more than two languages. The
journal is concerned with theoretical and empirical issues in
multilingualism such as early trilingualism, multilingual competence,
multilingual education, multilingual literacy, multilingual
representations in the mind or multilingual communities. It is an
interdisciplinary journal which brings together the study of  phenomena
related to multilingualism which are currently studied by researchers in
linguistics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics and education.
