<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The end
of 2017 was unusually eventful for ALT. The Association had its first Meeting
in Australia, and the southern hemisphere location meant that the meeting took
place in December, a different time of year than usual. It thus nearly
coincided with another major event for ALT, the transition of the editorship of
<i>Linguistic Typology</i> from Frans Plank, the founding editor, to Maria
Koptjevskaja Tamm at the beginning of 2018. This was recognized at the meeting
itself through a plenary session panel on morphosyntactic typology that ended
by honoring Frans for his many years of service to the field as Editor of <i>Linguistic
Typology</i>.<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The
Meeting in Canberra was a great success, with high attendance and excellent
presentations across all areas of typology. The talks on quantitative and areal
typology seemed especially well attended, in particular by younger scholars,
perhaps suggesting something about where the field is headed. The organizers
provided an excellent balance between regular sessions, plenary lectures, and
plenary panels, and I appreciated, in particular, their efforts to bring
interdisciplinary perspectives to the discussion. The next ALT Meeting is
scheduled for early September 2019 in Pavia, and I am looking forward to
learning more about the progress of typology there.<span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">As a year
between meetings, 2018 will provide the ALT Executive Committee with an
opportunity to take up various issues that are important to the governing of
the Association but which are best dealt with away from the pressures of the
deadlines that necessarily accompany the organization of a major conference. </span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:rgb(34,34,34);background:white">Three issues that I
expect to be addressed in particular are improving ALT's system for membership
management, updating the ALT website, and revisiting the development of a code
of conduct (or something like it) associated with ALT activities. With respect
to the last topic, I hope that ALT will be able to build on the work of other
scholarly societies in this area to develop a statement that will balance the
concerns of as many members as possible.</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span></span></span></p>

geographic/linguistic bias in the contributions published by the journal. Among
the different reasons for this one is particularly relevant, namely, the
challenge of writing a decent journal paper in Academic English. This is a real
and big problem the magnitude of which native speakers of English are probably
not aware of. And the ALT, whose primary focus is on linguistic diversity,
should take this challenge seriously and try to come up with practical measures
for ensuring that also linguists with a weaker English language background can
make their way to “Linguistic Typology” – or to other English speaking academic
fora.<span></span></span></p>

imbalance in the debates that have been published in <i>Linguistic Typology</i>.
This is of course not truly representative of the ALT community of the whole,
as all of us know (also exemplified by the two most recent award winners, Diana
Forker and Ksenia Shagal – and by the composition of the Editorial Board of the
journal). This imbalance is most probably a reflection of the general debate
climate on LingTyp – and on many other discussion lists – indicating that we
should be more active in inviting female researchers to participate in future
debates.<span> </span><span></span></span></p>
