Abstract:

For the first time, The Future of Language brings together three of
Professor David Crystal's most popular lectures on the future of language.
One of the world's foremost experts on language and English language, and
arguably the most accessible and entertaining writer and lecturer in this
area, Crystal delivers these informative and highly enjoyable performance
lectures exploring key contemporary language issues: 'The Future of
Englishes', 'Language Death' and 'Internet Linguistics'. 

An accompanying book with Crystal's commentary on the lectures is included
within the DVD package. This book supplements the lectures with a short
overview of the main themes discussed, followed by a more detailed
introduction to each topic and a synopsis of all the main points made in
each lecture. The book concludes with Crystal's reflections on how the
three interrelated topics covered here will continue to interact and
contribute to the evolution of language. 

Special features:

- English subtitles
- A cultural and usage commentary with timecodes so users can easily access
points of interest
- Further reading and activities for the classroom - easy-to-follow tasks
to get students engaging with language straight away 
- An index both for the DVD and the book so users can search for topics of
interest 

This is an ideal resource for all university and A-level English Language
and Linguistics departments and will be of interest to anyone involved in
the study of language, especially those involved with teaching or learning
English as a second language.

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $60,000. This money will go to help 
keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

See below for donation instructions, and don't forget to check out our Fund Drive 
2009 LINGUIST List Restaurant and join us for a delightful treat!

http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2009/

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at  
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to:
https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to 
donate by check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit:

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!
