Editorial work on a volume of this journal typically starts a little over a year before the volume begins to appear with the February issue. Volume 36, which appeared in 2007, was assembled under the guidance of the Editorial Board that was in place in 2006. Thus this is the time to thank the members of the Editorial Board whose terms expired at the end of 2006 and those whose appointments began at the beginning of 2007, when work on the current volume began. Departing are Yolanda Lastra, Anita Pomerantz, Carol Myers-Scotton, Jef Verscheuren, and Don Zimmerman. All served Language in Society for many years, and their many contributions are gratefully acknowledged. New Editorial Board members beginning in January 2007 were Asif Agha (Department of Anthropology, University of Pennsylvania), Geoffrey Raymond (Department of Sociology, University of California at Santa Barbara), Otto Santa Ana (Department of Chicana and Chicano Studies, University of California at Los Angeles), and Jack Sidnell (Department of Anthropology, University of Toronto). All four have already contributed detailed, useful manuscript reviews and advice. Welcome to all!
