Dear LINGUIST subscribers, 

As an undergrad, I discovered the wonder that is linguistics, only 
to find that (much to my dismay) my university did not have any 
opportunities for student research. We did not even have a linguistics 
club until late in my sophomore year-needless to say as a mere 
undergraduate a summer internship in linguistics seemed impossible. 
Out of this seeming oblivion only one institution answered my plea-the 
LINGUIST List. The incredible part of this story is that LINGUIST did 
not even have an internship program at the time; but instead of stifling 
the curiosity of an eager undergrad, an internship program was begun 
at LINGUIST, which has included both me and another student, Evelyn 
Richter, and has lead to us staying on at LINGUIST as full-fledged 
graduate students. 

I have been a part of LINGUIST now for more than six months, and have been 
a part of many wonderful projects: Multi-Tree, LLMAP, and GOLDComm. I have 
also had the opportunity to take part in organizing conferences, assisting 
in the writing of the REACT grant, and corresponding with our community 
through postings FYI, Notice Board, and Media. The thing that I have been 
most personally affected by, however, is the general sentiment that pervades 
LINGUIST-not only does LINGUIST do wonderful things for the linguistic 
community in the present, it grows up new linguists from the roots by teaching 
them how to communicate, act, and think like linguists. Through our 
correspondence with our beloved submitters, we are constantly surrounded by 
linguistically-relevant information and we have an opportunity to interact 
daily with the global linguistic network. Working at LINGUIST has shown me 
that all linguists are in fact connected in a common endeavour. At LINGUIST, 
I have the opportunity to learn the practical skills I will need to thrive 
(and, more importantly) give back to this community. 

Why contribute to LINGUIST? LINGUIST is serving YOU! And who are you? A 
community of like-minded individuals all collaborating for the sake of 
science, but ultimately for the sake of humanity-to me, linguistics is 
the study of what makes us who we are. It investigates the mechanism 
whereby we take the emotions and thoughts universal to all humans and 
express these thoughts through a language that is shaped by our cultural 
and personal identity. Linguistics is the study of how we live, create, 
and articulate this identity. This endeavour is both tremendous and noble, 
and requires a real community of linguists that are linked in a systematic, 
structured support system. I believe that LINGUIST is this support system, 
and more than any other single reason is why we should contribute to the 
LINGUIST List.  Every dollar given to LINGUIST is a dollar donated to 
sustaining and maintaining the infrastructure that services the linguistic 
community at large. Ultimately, we have to remember that the world gives 
us back what we give to it, and we here at LINGUIST can only give back to 
the community as much support as it gives to us. 

So, please donate: https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Thank you for your support, 

Matthew Lahrman

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) 
Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations 
can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax 
payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your 
financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
