My term as editor of Language in Society will finish at the end of 2019. Much of the work on the next issues of the journal will have been done during 2019, but this is the final issue for which I am officially editor. I warmly welcome the new editors, Susan Ehrlich and Tommaso Milani, who between them have a wealth of experience on research on language in society.

I am immensely grateful to the Associate Editors and members of the editorial board for their expert advice and support, to Scott Lewis at Queen Mary University of London for his support and hard work as Editorial Assistant and before him to John Weston and Daniella Samos. I also sincerely thank Audra Starcheus for her excellent copy-editing work, and Kavitha G. Krishanth at Nova Techset and Amy Laurent, Katie Wurtzel, and Katrina Swartz at Cambridge University Press for their much appreciated support, guidance and expertise. On behalf of the Associate Editors and myself I gratefully acknowledge the generosity of the many expert scholars who have willingly reviewed manuscripts during my term.
