[Lingtyp] Call for nominations and applications: Editor of Linguistic Typology

[Bernhard Waelchli]

Dear all,

I would like to write some words in support of the president of the 
association and all the other people working for Linguistic Typology 
behind the curtains. Without knowing exactly what they are doing and 
why, but assuming that it must be a lot they have to deal with, I have 
full confidence in their intentions to work for the best of this 
journal, which is very important for our community. I am also confident 
that the people who are in change and whom we have elected are capable 
of dealing with these issues.

Kind regards,

Bernhard
