present the 131th instalment of the "Typological Studies in Language" series with their volume The linguistics of olfaction: Typological and diachronic approaches to synchronic diversity. The volume describes the ways in which olfaction is encoded in language, making it a curated compilation of typological accounts from a variety of languages, many under-represented in the literature. Most of the chapters focus on the lexicogrammatical structure of olfaction-related constructions and their development over time. The remaining chapters have a narrower focus that allows for a deeper examination of specific issues, such as in-depth diachronic analyses, or theoretical and methodological re-evaluations. This volume itself was born out of the 49th Annual Meeting of the Societas Linguistica Europea in Naples (August 31st-September 3rd, 2016), in particular the Typology of Olfactory Expressions workshop, of which Jdrzejowski and Staniewski were convenors together with Miaika Reetz. Both editors have extensive backgrounds on research of typological evidence, with Staniewski additionally publishing on olfaction specifically
