Dear Linguists,
Some of you may not be aware that The Linguist List now archives
over 400 abstracts of dissertations in linguistics. These are
available at
http://www.linguistlist.org/dissop.html
Moreover, you can search for these by linguistic subfield, as well
as by author, keyword, title, and word(s) in the text. We have
recently made major improvements in the speed and accuracy of
the search engine. And a quick search by subfield showed us
that, so far, syntacticians are either much more numerous or much
more diligent about submitting their abstracts than those in other
fields. On March 29, we had the following totals in each category:
Applied Ling 23
Computational Ling 26
Discourse Analysis 24
Historical Ling 18
Morphology 10
Phonetics 12
Phonology 27
Pragmatics 12
Psycholinguistics 23
Semantics 35
Sociolinguistics 40
Syntax 80
Text Ling 8
Typology 28
Whether or not this suggests anything about the distribution of
Ph.D.'s in the discipline, it will, we hope, suggest that The Linguist
List dissertation abstracts facility is a useful research tool. The
archive is rapidly growing, and access is completely free.
But, of course, The Linguist List needs funding to maintain its free
services. We have--and need!--a staff of 9 graduate students, 7 of
whom are funded wholly or in part through your donations. Your
contributions not only help LINGUIST provide services like the
Dissertation Abstracts archive, but they also help these
outstanding students achieve their academic goals.
So far in our Year2000 fund drive, we have received $15,382 of the
$35,000 we need to collect--thanks to the generosity of the persons
and institutions whose names appear at the bottom of this page. If you
have not yet contributed, will you please do so now? As a 501(c)3
organization, LINGUIST qualifies for corporate donation-matching
programs; and, of course, your donation is tax deductible.
You can donate via our secure credit card form at:
http://linguistlist.org/donation-form.html
or by sending your check to:
The LINGUIST Editorial Support Fund
Dept. of English
Eastern Michigan U.
Ypsilanti, MI
USA 48197
Or you can simply hit "Reply" and send us your pledge by email,
prior to sending your check. Then we will be able to list you
immediately as one of our donors; and we may be able to reach
our goal (and halt these Fund Drive messages) a bit earlier.
If your donation is $30 or over and you would like a Linguist T-shirt
or sweatshirt, remember to include your snail-mail address and
size. Styles, prices, and photos are available at:
http://linguistlist.org/funddrive.html
With hearty thanks for your continued support.
