I am inquiring to find if there are linguists who are interested in the 
implications of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) 
(http://www.isaac-online.org/en/home.shtml) for linguistic and 
psycholinguistic theory. Since AAC users produce and perceive 
language with a different combination of modalities than any other 
speakers, they invite comparison with ordinary language producers 
and also with ASL speakers. AAC users also invite questions about the 
intersection of grammar with motor processing. Any other research 
questions or angles one could come up with are welcome.

If you are interested in participating in developing a forum for the 
intersection of linguistic or psycholinguistic research with AAC, please 
contact me, Carol Tenny, directly at tenny at linguist.org. Note that we 
are specifically considering questions in linguistic research; NOT 
engineering or clinical speech pathology.

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.

Drive 2011 site!

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!
