Subject: A Challenges Update!

 
Hello Linguist Listers,

We have made it past the 10% mark but we need your help to reach our next
milestone at 20%!
We are currently at 13.9% of our total goal so here is a challenge update on
who has donated so far.

In the linguistic subfield challenge we have Syntax in first place with a
large lead at $825 donated, Sociolinguistics in second place with $690
donated, and just behind them we have Phonology with $635 donated. Rounding
out the top 5, we have Pragmatics and General Linguistics with $545 and $475
donated respectively. Will Syntax continue to dominate this race?

As for the University Challenge, we have the University of South Carolina in
the top spot with another large lead at $800 donated. In second place, we have
Indiana University, Bloomington with $385 donated and in third place we have
the University of Surrey with $250 donated. Rounding out the top 5 we have the
Hong Kong Baptist University and the National University of Singapore both at
$200 donated. Will any challengers be able to overtake the powerful lead that
the University of South Carolina has established? We'll have to wait and see!

Last but not least, in the Region Challenge we have North America in the top
spot with 45 donors, Europe in second place with 21 donors, and Asia in third
place with 5 donors.

Many thanks to all of you for your continuous support and if you have not yet
donated, now is a great time to do so.
Not only will it help us to keep delivering great content to you but it will
also help your team to move ahead in the challenges.

With gratitude,
-- The LL team
