Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,

It is our great pleasure to bring you the tale of another celebrated hero in
 linguistics!  Today's Linguist of the Day is renowned documentary and typological
 linguist Nikolaus Himmelmann; his story begins:

"Before getting to university, I had never heard of linguistics as an academic
 discipline and only found out about it during my first term, when I was studying
 English and law. As part of the English program, I had to take an introduction to
 (English) linguistics and another class on the linguistic analysis of texts
 (nowadays widely generally known as discourse analysis). And I was immediately
 hooked."

And please consider making a donation to ensure that future generations of 
linguistic heroes can rely on the services LINGUIST provides:

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!
