Dear Subscribers,

As in previous years, we are featuring linguists that have 
influenced the LINGUIST crew members as the Chefs de Cuisine 
of the Day. This is a feature that was very popular in the past 
and we are proud of being able to tell our readership about it.

This year we have six exceptional and very interesting linguists 
telling us how they got involved in linguistics and what were 
the different paths that they took to be where they are today. 
They stories are captivating we have no doubt that you will 
enjoy them as much as we do.

The Chefs de Cuisine of the Day are featured at: 
http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2009/linguist-of-the-day/ . 

At different times during our Fund Drive you will be able to 
read about Brian D. Joseph's junior year abroad program in 
Greece and Sarah Thomason's childhood desire to be a zoologist, 
and what she asked different grad school departments when 
applying.
 
You will find out that Richard Hudson had a childhood concern 
with the idea that there might be other languages out there 
that he had not thought about in his monolingual upbringing 
and that he found out that he didn't have the brain for actually 
learning Egyptian; but did have the brain for enjoying etymology.


You will discover the two things that have shaped Marianne 
Mithun's the most as a linguist,and how she was shocked as a 
student to learn that someone would pay you to think about 
linguistics (when reading grad fellowship ads).


Andrew Carnie describes the feeling of being more Scottish than 
the Scots while growing up in Canada and explains what convinced 
him that the life of the linguist was a glorious one.

Lastly, find out which book Robert Lew paid the equivalent to 
about half the average monthly salary in Poland cause he simply 
had to have it!

Today we are featuring Brian D. Joseph, our first Chef 
de Cuisine of the Day! Go on and sneak peak a bit of his 
story on how he got into linguistics: 
 
"My path to being a linguist began, as is the case with many 
colleagues in this field, with an interest in language, and 
in my case, with one language in particular: Latin. I started 
studying Latin in my junior year in high school (fall of 1967), 
taking it at the recommendation of my uncle, Morton Bloomfield, 
who was himself a linguist -- a medievalist and specialist in 
the history of English (he taught at Harvard and was no relation 
to Leonard Bloomfield, as best anyone could tell). I loved 
Latin immediately and soaked it up, reveling in the declensional 
and conjugational regularities, admiring the structure, and 
thoroughly enjoying the whole experience (in contrast to many 
of my classmates, for whom high school Latin was torture!) ..." 
 
Go to the Chef de Cuisine of the Day part of the Fund Drive 
site to read more about Brian Joseph's story.
