Line profiles of emission lines provides a wealth of information about a binary system such as the velocity and location of emitting line regions and the structure of the accretion disk. Hence, it is a valuable piece of the puzzle in understanding X-ray binaries.
I will present data obtained on GX 339-4 during the high and low states in 1998 and 1999, respectively. The line profile behaviour is rich and varied and raises many questions about the sources of the optical emission lines and how the X-rays may be affecting such emission.
