Dear subscribers,
I am Xiyan Wang from China, and a Graduate Assistant at the LINGUIST List.

In addition to the data and tools for scholars in their research and field 
work, LINGUIST List provides the unique resources and information for the 
whole linguistic community. 

Please donate so that our service for all of members in the linguistic 
community can continue:

https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Since I came here, I have been working with other crew members on 
Dissertation & Academic Papers, the web resources, and LL-Map. The LINGUIST
List keeps a database of Dissertation Abstracts which allows you to read 
abstracts (often linked to a full text version online) from people who 
have successfully earned their Ph.D. The Dictionaries section of web 
resources has about 300 links to dictionaries of specific languages, 
multilingual dictionaries, acronym dictionaries, synonym and idiom 
dictionaries, as well as dictionaries of specialized terms. LL-MAP not 
only helps the user with dynamic search for language data, it also gives 
scholars the opportunity to utilize our site for the creation of their own 
language maps.

The idea of keeping the resources and services free and easy to access for
scholars, students and all users is deeply held in LINGUIST List. However, 
we could not fully achieve these goals without your generous donation every
year. Your support and donation has always been very significant to assist 
the many international graduate students like who have worked at LINGUIST 
List, both in our studies and our efforts of providing better services to 
the linguistic community. Even a small sum of money will be valuable to 
LINGUIST List and eventually all the users benefit from your generous 
donations. We need your help, please donate with just one click:

Best regards,

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!
