It is hard to believe that LINGUIST has been part of my 
life for something like 20 years! I don't think I was one 
of the original 78 subscribers, but I know I was there 
early, excited 
by the potential of this new mode of 
professional communication. 
During the early years when 
LINGUIST stood alone as the forum 
for discussions on 
theory, data, professional development, and 
everything 
else we could think of, I participated and profited 
from 
interaction of a kind we had not even thought of earlier.  

Of course the list has evolved and discussions of theory 
and 
data have largely moved to more specialized lists. 
But I still count on LinguistList for conference calls 
for papers and programs, 
queries (and the generous answers 
from around the world), new 
books and dissertations. And 
the entire LINGUIST site has an 
amazing array of linguistic 
resources for all of us, however 
long we've been in the 
field.

Because I think so highly of these contributions to the 
entire discipline of Linguistics, I feel honored to be 
an Advisor. Working with Helen, Anthony, the LINGUIST
crew, and my fellow 
Advisors is a pleasure, and helping 
with decision-making makes me feel that I am giving back 
to an organization that has contributed so much to all of 
us. Who doesn't like being asked 
for opinions? As the 
next paragraph will remind everyone as well, 
I am also a 
shameless letter-writer for the annual fund drive and 

look forward to continuing that role this year too.

And I can continue right here: there is as obvious way 
for everyone, not just the Advisors, to show gratitude 
for LINGUIST, 
not just for the discussion listserv, but 
for the many resources 
and services that have been added 
over the years. LINGUIST needs your donations, large and 
small, to keep running.   

Now is the 
time to support this mainstay of Linguistics 
by donating!

Thank you to the LINGUIST crew for making me one of the 
spokespersons 
for the Advisors this year.  

And thank you to everyone for donating 
to LINGUIST!

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $67,000. This money will go to help 
keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at  
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to: 
https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to

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!
