-neurolinguistics
-psycholinguistics and language processing
-language change and grammaticalization

-font size 12, Times New Roman or Doulos SIL
-if another font is necessary for linguistic symbols, please contact the

anywhere in the document.

-a complete list of cited references must appear at the end of the paper;

free translation.

     -if you use LaTeX, please contact rls at rice.edu before submitting your
paper
  (2) In addtion to the Word or LaTeX submission, you must send a PDF

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!
