 Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers, Supporters, and Friends, 

As of Friday evening at 7:45 pm (EST), Fund Drive has made $ 36,970.63. Please help us reach the $40,000 mark tonight. LINGUIST List needs to earn $79,000 this year from Fund Drive, and it's almost over...

http://funddrive.linguistlist.org/donate/ 

If you haven’t already heard, we now also have an option for you to become a recurring donor. Please visit http://linguistlist.org/issues/26/26-2068.html for more information! 

Check out the top five subfields in our challenge:

1. Computational Linguistics ($7,590)
2. Syntax ($4,8111)
3. Sociolinguistics ($3,873)
4. Phonology ($3,054)
5. Semantics ($2,295)

Syntax and phonology were once the strong leaders! Will they allow computational linguistics to win with ease, or will they fight back?
