Spread the good word throughout your dense social 
networks folks! Sociolinguistics has impressed 
us with its charm and wit (and, well, money!)
to become the high-prestige variant!

Yes, Syntax has yielded it's C-Command to 
the Sociolinguists--for now! But will Syntax
repeat its daring move alpha?

Don't you rest on your laurels!
Don't languish, linguists!
--there are still 17 hours of 
our challenge left! 

Don't make any superfluous 
presuppositions about the victor of 
this race yet! Donate now!

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!
