Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,

Some LINGUIST resources aren't so easy to classify. In this 
last letter, we've grouped some of the lesser-known features 
that may be of interest to you.

LINGUIST has established a presence on a variety of social 
networking sites. Connect with us by clicking the links below:

Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/linguistlist

Various linguistic resources can only be found on the World 
Wide Web. Luckily, LINGUIST has an area for that!

Web Resources/Software: This area of the LINGUIST List 
contains links to websites and software devoted to natural 
and constructed languages, to writing systems, and to 
language resources on the web (such as dictionaries). 

For Web Resources, visit: http://linguistlist.org/langres/index.cfm

For Software, visit: http://linguistlist.org/sp/software-index.cfm

FYI: As mentioned in a previous letter, the FYI area 
contains information that doesn't neatly fit into any 
single LINGUIST posting topic, such as calls for book 
chapters, award recipient announcements, new journal 
editor announcements, scholarship announcements, etc:

Discussion: The Discussion area is one of LINGUIST's 
best kept secrets (but we'd like it to be not-so-secret). 
Discussions posted on the LINGUIST site have resulted in many 
publications, collaborations, and thought-provoking 
linguistic observations and ponderings. Join the discussion!

http://linguistlist.org/sp/discussion-index.cfm

Mailing Lists: There are a number of mailing lists linked 
in here that are related to different facets of linguistics 
and language:

LINGUIST's projects also cater to various linguistic interests.

GOLD, for your ontological needs: http://linguistics-ontology.org/
LL-MAP, to map and view your language data: http://www.llmap.org/
MultiTree, so you can compare language hypotheses: http://multitree.org/

Tutorials: These tutorials were designed by programmers 
to help train linguistics students for work at LINGUIST. 
They are very helpful introductions (or, for some of you, 
refreshers) for the technical work linguists engage in.

Linguistic Blogs: Here you can see what linguists on the web 
have to say about language:

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!
