Meeting Description:

The first constitution of the Anthropological Society of Washington, the predecessor to the American Anthropological Association, called for the 'study of the Natural History of Man' including 'Archaeology, Somatology, Ethnology, and Philology.' The early field of anthropology was heavily influenced by philology and models of language evolution and historical change. At this conference on Language, Culture and History we would like to bring contemporary theories from all fields of linguistics, anthropology and related fields to the 'natural history of humans.' Specifically, we want to address questions about the complex interactions between language, history and culture.

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!
