Linguistic Field(s): Language Documentation 

Meeting Description: 

The Netherlands is a leading place where languages with different degrees 
of vitality from all parts of the world are being documented, described and 
theorized about. However, this vast resource for the humanities, social and 
cognitive sciences has never been show-cased in one place before. To 
round-off the Endangered Languages Programme (ELP), a funding initiative 
of the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), a two-day 
international conference is being organized at Leiden University on April 8-
9, 2011, to provide a forum for putting this work on stage in conference 
presentations as well as posters.

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!
