As a researcher, there are a lot of ways to formulate research questions and
gather linguistic data. LINGUIST offers several features you can use to reach
out to the linguistics community as you conduct your research.

Queries: You can submit research surveys, tests, and ask for resources
relevant to your research here:
http://linguistlist.org/pubs/sums/index.cfm

If you think someone may have already asked a similar question, check out
Summaries to see if our readers have provided a response.

For general research needs, LINGUIST features a Publications Area where you
can find bibliographic resources:

http://linguistlist.org/pubs/index.cfm

In this area, you can find:
-Books (and Reviews of many of these books)
-Journals listings and their Table of Contents
-Academic Papers and Dissertation Abstracts

If you’re doing language documentation research or your research is more
technical in nature, you should visit our

School of Best Practices: http://emeld.org/school/toolroom/software/index.cfm

and specifically

Ask-an-Expert: http://emeld.org/school/ask-expert/index.html

for technical tips.

In fact, all of our projects can be used to gather information, and generate
and support language hypotheses:

LL-MAP: http://www.llmap.org/
MultiTree: http://multitree.org/

So once you’ve finished your research, how can you use LINGUIST to make the
most of your career? Stay tuned for the next letter on LINGUIST's resources
for professional development. Remember, these services are available to the
linguistic community by your donations. To help us keep these services

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!
