Dear LINGUIST List readers, 

We are two weeks into the fund drive and the counter shows $9,371.00! 
https://funddrive.linguistlist.org

This is just over 23% of our goal this year! If we reach our fund-raising goal
this year, $40,000, we will be able to fund approximately 2.5 months of our
operations in 2022. The largest portion of our budget is to support our
student editors, who thanks to your generosity will graduate without debt.
Thanks to your generous support, we have remained independent and completely
free to our readers for over 30 years. We want to thank all those who have
already donated and encourage all of you in supporting our fund drive ! 

82 people have donated to the fund drive so far. We have over 20,000
subscribers, close to 60,000 unique visitors and over 10,000,000 page views
per year on our web site. I am so happy that these 82 are part of our
community. We owe them so much.

Thank you, syntax! Syntax leads in our discipline challenge with $1,405
donated so-far. Second place goes this week to sociolinguistics (hooray!) and
third to pragmatics (hooray!). Applied Linguistics, General Linguistics and
Language are all close behind. Colleagues, an individual donation can push
your discipline to the top of our challenge!

The University of South Carolina has not given up the lead in the university
challenge since the beginning of the fund drive! Cheers to the 10 generous
donors who together donated $825. At this moment, no university seems to
endanger the lead of the University of South Carolina. Temple University at
Japan is still our number two, Arizona State University – number three. Five
universities tie on the fourth place with $200 in donations each: University
of Arizona, Rochester Institute of Technology, University of California, Santa
Barbara, Carleton University and University of Amsterdam. Thank you!

The full list of our supporters this year can be found here:

Please donate, every amount counts! Thank you, linguistics!
