We would like to invite you to contribute to this special volume of TEANGA, dedicated to research work related to Irish Sign Language. Guest editors: Lorraine Leeson and Irene Murtagh.
This special edition of TEANGA, the Journal of the Irish Association for Applied Linguistics, contains selected papers from the Multilingualism in the Early Years conference held in the Dublin Institute of Technology in May 2017. The conference brought together people from diverse disciplines such as early childhood education and applied linguistics in order to discuss multilingual pedagogies, research and issues. The papers included in this special edition reflect the conference's diversity and highlight the depth and breadth of this burgeoning interdisciplinary field.
Tá rogha páipéar ón gcomhdháil ar Ilteangachas sna Luathbhlianta a bhí ar siúl in Institiúid Teicneolaíochta Bhaile Átha Cliath i mí Bealtaine 2017 ar fáil san eagrán speisialta seo de TEANGA, Iris Chumann na Teangeolaíochta Feidhmí. Bhí sé d’aidhm ag an gcomhdháil daoine ó dhisciplíní éagsúla a thabhairt le chéile, oideachas na luath-óige agus an teangeolaíocht fheidhmeach san áireamh, chun plé a dhéanamh ar oideolaíochtaí ilteangacha, ar thaighde is ar cheisteanna éagsúla. Léiríonn na páipéir san eagrán speisialta seo ilghnéitheacht na comhdhála agus doimhneacht agus leithead an réimse idirdhisciplínigh bhisiúil seo.

The peer-reviewed journal TEANGA (the Irish word for 'language') was first published by IRAAL in l979. Originally devoted exclusively to papers presented at IRAAL seminars and conferences, TEANGA now includes the best of these papers, as well as book reviews, research and project reports, and other significant contributions in applied linguistics. Since 2016, TEANGA has been published as a bilingual, open-access online academic journal, commencing with Volume 24.
D’fhoilsigh Cumann na Teangeolaíochta feidhmí (IRAAL) an iris phiarmheasta TEANGA don chéad uair i 1979. Ar dtús, bhí sí dírithe ar pháipéir a cuireadh i láthair ag seimineáir agus comhdhálacha IRAAL, ach anois cuirtear san áireamh an chuid is fearr de na páipéir seo mar aon le léirmheasanna ar leabhair; tuairiscí ar thaighde, ar thionscadail agus ar imeachtaí tábhachtacha eile na teangeolaíochta feidhmí. Ó 2016, tá TEANGA á foilsiú mar iris dhátheangach acadúil a bhfuil rochtain oscailte uirthi, ag tosú le hEagrán 24.
