Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,

LINGUIST List has so many services, and so much free information available to
you, that even the most seasoned LINGUIST user may not be aware of all the
resources we provide.  Throughout the next few weeks, we will be sharing with
you our "Making the Most of LINGUIST" letter series. This series of messages
will identify the main types of resources on LINGUIST, and will explain how
they can best be utilized to meet your needs.

The series will mirror the typical development of a professional linguist,
beginning with resources for students, then for conducting research, followed
by help with professional development, institutions, conference organizers, and
employers, then finishing up with special interests.

For those of you who are new to the mesmerizing field of linguistics--or have a
passing interest in language--LINGUIST has an area specifically for you:

*Ask-a-Linguist: Ask-a-Linguistic contains answers to frequently asked
linguistic questions. This area of LINGUIST covers a lot of great, general
linguistic information:

If you're thinking about making linguistics your life's work, LINGUIST has
several resources for students trying to make the most of their degree:

*Student Portal: An essential for students looking to develop an academic
career in linguistics. A great starting point!

*Internships: For linguistic experience outside of the classroom, check our
internship listings!

*Supports: Announcements of fellowships and resources for degree programs are
posted here.

*FYI:  There's a lot of diverse information presented in FYI, including
scholarship opportunities, grants, and new degree programs.

return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site,

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.
