Dear Subscribers,
As many of you already know, the Query issues(Qs) are a very
popular feature of LINGUIST List. However, even we did not fully
appreciate the strong demand for this service until we checked our
records and discovered that we posted 630 Qs in 1999.
Of these, 409 Qs contained the substring 'reference', and 108
contained the substring 'thesis' in the text. This data alone shows
just how important this service is to linguistic research,
specifically providing information exchange at a graduate level
and above.
The large number of summaries (SUMs) of the answers posted
suggests that the service works rather efficiently, and those
who seek do indeed find the answers. Moreover, the linguistic
community, as a whole, benefits from the research included in
those summarized responses.
As with all LINGUIST issues, both Queries and Summaries are archived
for your future reference on the LINGUIST website. And as with most
services on LINGUIST, the Qs feature is completely free. But of
course, it would not be possible for The Linguist List to maintain
this popular service without the funding which your donations
provide.
Today is the fifth day of the Year2000 Fund Drive. We have
received $18,714 of the $35,000 we need to collect. We heartily thank
all who have contributed; their names are listed at the bottom of this
page.
If you would like to make your contribution in support of the
Queries service and The Linguist List in general, you can do so
now by donating via our secure credit card form at:
http://www.linguistlist.org/donation-form.html
or by sending your check to:
The LINGUIST Editorial Support Fund
Dept. of English
Eastern Michigan U.
Ypsilanti, MI
USA 48197
If you like, you can hit "Reply" and send us your pledge by email,
prior to sending your check. We will then 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.
As a 501(c)3 organization, LINGUIST qualifies for corporate
donation-matching programs; and, of course, your donation is tax
deductible.
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:
http://www.linguistlist.org/funddrive.html
With many thanks for your generous support,
