Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to participate in our online survey about 
terminology and corpora practices in relation to the TTC project which 
is granted financial support from the European Commission under the 
Seventh Framework Programme (Grant Agreement no 248005). The 
link to the survey:

We appreciate your input and it is very important to us since it will 
contribute to defining the specifications of the tools to be developed 
during the project. TTC aims at extracting bilingual terminology 
automatically from comparable corpora to enhance translation tools 
(computer-assisted translation and machine translation). The major 
project goal is to provide an online platform for working with 
terminology and corpora. In order to get a better knowledge of user 
needs, we are running this survey. We would be most grateful if you 
could dedicate 10-15 minutes to answer our online questionnaire.

The survey is anonymous and you will be just offered to give your e-
mail address to be used for sending feedback about the results of the 
survey.

Thank you very much in advance!

Kindest regards,
The TTC project Consortium

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $65,000. This money will go to help 
keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

Drive 2010 and join us for a great journey!

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

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!
