Subject: Subfield Challenge Has Started!

Dear Subscribers,

The well aclaimed Linguistic Subfield challenge
is about to start! March 16 through March 22, we
will be running the subfield challenge.

How does it work? When you donate, you will see a
drop down to select the linguistic subfield that
you want your contribution to apply to. We had a 
heated competition last year and several subfields 
tried until the last minute to be the one at the
top.

To spice things up from the get go, we have Bill 
VanPatten, a language acquisitionist, who is willing 
to lead his subfield:


"[I have] just made my annual donation, but would like 
to challenge my fellow acquisitionists and processing 
experts. If they send in at least $500 collectively 
during the subfield challenge, I will donate an 
additional $500. Write those checks, everyone!"

Will the language acquisitionists lead this competition?
Will syntacticians try to steal the lead? Which
subfield will end on top? It is all up to you!
