Greetings Linguist List!

Welcome back to our midweek Challenge update! We have officially made
it halfway to our goal, which means there’s as much road ahead of us
as there is in the rearview mirror. It also means we still have a long
way to go, so make sure to get your donations in!

Let’s take a look at the standings!

In our Subfield Challenge, Syntax keeps the lead with nearly $2,000!
We also see a close race between Writing Systems, Neurolinguistics,
Computational Linguistics, Text/Corpus Linguistics, Lexicography, and
Translation, all of which are separated by nearly $50! Get your
donations in and allow your specialty to rise through the ranks!

In our University Challenge, Stanford holds the lead with $710!
Joining our leaderboard are Lehman College, Université de Montréal,
Masaryk University, University of Geneva, and University of Texas.
Don’t let your school go unnoticed, get your donations in now!

In our Country Challenge, the United States keeps its strong lead.
Between second place and last place, we only see a $436 difference!
This is still any country’s competition, so make sure to give your
country the edge by getting your donation into the Linguist List!

Want to support the Linguist List and represent your nation,

The winner of each challenge will receive a feature in the special
post at the end of the Fund Drive. This is a great opportunity to draw
attention to your school, program, and personal projects, so get your
donations in now!

Additionally, we have announced our first feedback poll! For the first
poll, we are looking at anadromes. An anadrome is a word that, when
spelled backward, is a different word! We've collected a mini list of
anadromes to see which one is your favorite, and there is a field for
you to submit one that comes to your mind as well. All valid
submissions will be reviewed by our team and have the chance to be
featured when the poll results come out.

Check out the first poll here!
