Dear LINGUIST Subscribers,
Did you know that in 1999, the LINGUIST list announced 321 new books
on linguistics? These represented every subdiscipline, and included
books on Mathematical linguistics, Grammars of Endangered Languages,
works on Sociolinguistics, Neurolinguistics, Psycholinguistics and
Applied linguistics, as well as works on theoretical Phonology,
Phonetics, Morphology, Syntax, Semantics and Pragmatics. We also
brought you the latest information on journals and working papers. We
posted the tables of contents of 71 journals in 1999.
And last year our book announcement service expanded to include
announcements from 23 different linguistics publishers. Thanks to
these supporting publishers (and to the authors who brought Linguist
to their attention) we were able to bring you news of virtually all
the new linguistics books published last year, whether they were
listed by large commercial presses or by small non-profit publishers.
But The LINGUIST list doesn't just announce books and journals,
we review them too, making use of our highly talented and world
wide subscriber base. We reviewed 62 books last year. Reviews at
the LINGUIST list are unlike reviews you will find anywhere else.
We try, wherever possible, to get multiple reviewers to look at a
book, so that we can offer contrasting views on the same book and
encourage discussion. Many 1999 book reviews stimulated lively debate
in our discussion (Disc) forum; and we encouraged the book
authors to respond to the reviews. Here are links to our books,
reviews, and Table of Contents (TOC) pages:
http://www.linguistlist.org/issues/indices/Books2000r.html
http://www.linguistlist.org/issues/indices/Review2000r.html
http://www.linguistlist.org/issues/indices/TOC2000r.html
Many of our subscribers tell us that when they want to find a book on some
topic, or buy a book they have heard about, the first place they come
is the linguist web site. Our topic-oriented search function at
http://linguistlist.org/search.html
offers one of the easiest ways to find books that interest you. We also
have links to almost all of the major linguistics publishers at
http://linguistlist.org/publishers.html.
Unfortunately, this service to our community does not come
cheaply. While our supporting publishers do very generously help us
with donations and grants, publisher support accounts for only about
one-third of the funding we need. Right now, it takes one *full time*
editor to do nothing but bring you book announcements. If you have
ever read a LINGUIST book announcement or a LINGUIST review, or have
bought a book you have read about on LINGUIST, we hope that you will
consider making a tax deductible donation to the list.
We have--and need!--a staff of 9 graduate students, 7 of whom are
funded wholly or partly through your donations. Your contributions not
only help LINGUIST provide services like the books and reviews, but
they also help these outstanding students achieve their academic
goals.
So far in our Year2000 fund drive, we have received $17,563 of the
$35,000 we need to collect--thanks to the generosity of the persons
and institutions whose names appear at the bottom of this page. If you
have not yet contributed, will you please do so now? As a 501(c)3
organization, LINGUIST qualifies for corporate donation-matching
programs; and, of course, your donation is tax deductible.
You can donate via our secure credit card form at:
http://linguistlist.org/donate-form.html
or by sending your check to:
The LINGUIST Editorial Support Fund
Dept. of English
Eastern Michigan U.

If you like, you can hit "Reply" and send us your pledge by email,
prior to sending your check. Then we will be able to list you
immediately as one of our donors; and we may be able to reach
our fund drive goal a bit earlier.
If your donation is $30 or over and you would like a Linguist T-shirt
or sweatshirt, remember to include your snail-mail address and
size. Styles, prices, and photos are available at:

With sincere thanks for your continued support.
