Subject: Got an abstract? There are 218 conferences awaiting your submission.

E-mail this message to a friend:

Think about it: in your career, how many conferences have you gone to? How
many have you presented at? How many abstracts have you submitted for papers,
talks, poster sessions, panels, and colloquia?

And of those, how many did you find out about through the LINGUIST List?

An academic's need to attend and present at conferences, and the inherently
chaotic nature of the academic conference system, is precisely what makes the
Calls and Conferences feature of the LINGUIST List such an indispensable tool.
Rather than relying on word of mouth or hoping that your colleagues will
remember to CC you on an email, you can count on LINGUIST to keep you informed
about your field's most important conference and the associated call for
papers.

But we do far more than just email you this important information: we also
have a searchable database of all upcoming linguistic conferences
(http://linguistlist.org/callconf/browse-current.cfm?type=Conf) and all active
calls for papers
(http://linguistlist.org/callconf/browse-current.cfm?type=call). We also have
an events calendar to keep you organized
(http://linguistlist.org/callconf/eventcalendar.cfm), so you'll never have to
present in Germany one day and Japan the next.

If you're a conference organizer, you probably know how much easier it is to
submit a conference announcement, program, and call for papers via LINGUIST
than to email your colleagues one by one. You also know that we circulate your
submission within 48 hours. But did you know that we provide a free,
user-friendly platform
(http://linguistlist.org/confservices/EasyAbs/index.cfm) for your participants
to submit abstracts? Or that we're developing an online registration service
(http://linguistlist.org/confservices/EasyReg/index.cfm) to bring your
attendees to you, minus the headaches?

As of this week, the LINGUIST List has records for 787 conferences taking
place all over the world between now and September 2015, with 218 active calls
for papers. And these aren't just English: we distribute announcements in
French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and, once, even Papiamento!

We do all this for the sake of the linguistic community at no cost to you,
which means we rely solely upon the generosity of our supporters. If you have
found these services valuable, please donate to the LINGUIST List today.

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

Without your donation, we can't continue to provide our Calls and Conferences
services that you, as an academic, rely on. We're counting on you!

With sincerest gratitude,

Bryn Hauk, Xiyan Wang & Anna White
Calls & Conferences Editors

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!
