More than half the world's population use two or more languages in their everyday lives, and may therefore be defined as bilingual. Bilinguals are found in all countries of the world, in all classes of society and in all age groups. The bilingual person is now the subject of wide-ranging and influential research, but to date there has been no journal that focuses exclusively on this topic.

Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, an international peer-reviewed journal to be launched by Cambridge University Press, has been specifically designed to fulfil this role. The first issue will be published in early 1998, and the journal will be published three times a year.

=46ocusing on the bilingual person, Bilingualism will publish articles that deal with the following domains: bilingual language competence, perception and production, language acquisition (in children and adults), neurolinguistics of bilingualism (in normal and brain-damaged subjects), as well as non-linguistic cognitive processes in bilinguals. Articles will reflect fundamental research and will use the various approaches and methodologies currently applied in cognitive science.

Each issue will contain an article accompanied by peer commentaries, in addition to research articles, notes, and commentaries on previously published papers.

The Editors of Bilingualism will be supported by a distinguished Editorial Board of leading researchers working in the field of language and cognition in bilinguals.

A call for papers will be distributed in the early months of 1997. For further information on Bilingualism, please contact Cambridge University Press: tel. +44 (0)1223 325804; email: schadwickcup.cam.ac.uk.
