Subject: CLLD Concepticon 1.0 Released

 
We proudly announce the release of version 1.0 of the CLLD Concepticon, a
resource for the linking of concept lists. Our resource presents an attempt to
link the large amount of different concept lists which are used in the
linguistic literature, ranging from Swadesh lists in historical linguistics to
naming tests in clinical studies and psycholinguistics. Our Concepticon links
concept labels from different conceptlists to concept sets. Each concept set
is given a unique identifier, a unique label, and a human-readable definition.
Concept sets are further structured by defining different relations between
the concepts, as you can see in the graphic to the right, which displays the
relations between concept sets linked to the concept set SIBLING. The resource
can be used for various purposes. Serving as a rich reference for new and
existing databases in diachronic and synchronic linguistics, it allows
researchers a quick access to studies on semantic change, cross-linguistic
polysemies, and semantic associations.

This year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $79,000. This money 
will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our 
Student Editors for the coming year.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the 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 Indiana University 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!
