Abstract
There is no doubt that LT is an excellent journal. Typology is the main interest of many linguists. The need for a specialized international journal was certainly felt ten years ago, and LT has worthily responded to that need. It has attracted many scholars of various countries, published many good articles, and tackled a number of questions, all of them interesting.
