Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,

We are thrilled to announce that Mamoru Saito has joined the celebrated Hall of 
Heroes as our newest Linguist of the Day. He has shared a story that is as
insightful as it is interesting...

"My path to linguistics was probably a bit unusual. I was already 24 when I 
started studying linguistics in 1978. I was fortunate to receive three key pieces 
of advice that led me into the field."

Curious to know what advice Mamoru Saito received, and how it shaped his career 
in linguistics? Click the link below to read the full story!

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!
