'Estudios de Sociolingüística' (EdS) is published by the University of
Vigo. Our principal objective with this new journal is to contribute
to the divulging of international knowledge and research about
sociolinguistics, and to offer another forum for debates on key issues
relating languages to societies and cultures. This journal is born
with specific traits, that might help to characterize it. EdS comes
out in Galicia, a peripherical European area. In this sense, we adopt
a sensibility and point of view of minority languages; and also, in
general terms, we feel that sociolinguistics carried out in the
European periphery (among others, Galician sociolinguistics) should
establish a direct relationship to international research tradition,
and we expect to contribute in some way to this task.  This first
issue of EdS is a monographic volume on bilingualism. The fifteen
contributions that here appear were presented as plenary conferences
at the 'First International Symposium on Bilingualism: Bilingual
Communities and Individuals', organized by the editors of this issue
at the University of Vigo, and held in Vigo (Galicia, Spain) from the
21st to the 25th October 1997.
