Dear Subscribers, 

Welcome back to the second week of Fun dDrive Friday!  

As you may have noticed last weekend, every Friday during our annual fund drive, 
we temporarily alter the home page to showcase the new fun features we create to 
help encourage your donations.  

This Friday, be sure not to miss the Linguist of the Day, a popular Fund Drive 
feature since 2006!  This Friday will be a personal biography from Noam Chomsky.  

http://linguistlist.org/donation/fund-drive2007/linguists/LinguistOfTheDayIndex.cfm

We would also like to bring your attention to our three newest features unveiled 
this Fun dDrive Friday.

The second issue of our Superhero Comic Book Movie, The Adventures of 
C-Commander and the Disambiguator, is now available!  Watch the flash movie to 
follow The Disambiguator and C-Commander in their struggle to return the 
LINGUIST List sun back to the linguistics community.

Who said you can't whistle while you work?  Listen to this year's Fund Drive 
Theme Song!  

http://linguistlist.org/donation/fund-drive2007/theme-song/musicvideo.cfm

Lingoku:  Try your hand at our Sudoku-inspired puzzle!  The objective of the 
game is to fill in the 3x3 grid so that every row, every column, and every box 
contains every vowel.  Submit your completed puzzles, and prizes will be awarded 
to the five people who solve the most puzzles within the next week!

http://linguistlist.org/donation/fund-drive2007/puzzles-games/

Prizes for Lingoku:
1. a copy of Agreement by Greville G. Corbett, 2006, Cambridge University Press, 
donated by Greville G. Corbett 
2. a one-year subscription to the International Journal of Bilingual Education 
and Bilingualism, donated by Multilingual Matters 
3. a copy of Convert Text to Phonetic Spelling (USA accent), donated by 
Tom Zurinskas 
4. a copy of Studies on Modern Phonetics and Phonology by Lu, Jilun & Wang 
Jialing. (eds.) 2004. Tianjin: Tianjin Academy of Social Science, donated by 
Gang Gu 
5. a one-year subscription to Linguistics & Science Fiction Newsletter, donated 
by Suzette Haden Elgin 

Periodically check the site over the weekend to play the games and see what else 
is new.  Please remember to DONATE when you visit our site.  Fund Drive is the 
only time of year we ask for your contributions to help keep our services 
available and free.  
 
Enjoy our Fun dDrive pages today and throughout the weekend!
  
Sincerely,
-The LINGUIST Crew 






-----------------------------------------------------------

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $55,000. This money will go to help keep the 
List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

See below for donation instructions, and don't forget to check out our Fund Drive 2007 
LINGUIST List Superhero Adventure for some Fund Drive fun!

http://linguistlist.org/donation/fund-drive2007/ 

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form.

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later.

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to donate by 
check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit:

http://linguistlist.org/donate.html

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can 
receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit 
organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against 
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more 
information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift 
you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human 
resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns 
to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the 
value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment 
to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
