Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,

It is our pleasure to introduce you to a new research project at LINGUIST List:  
RELISH (Rendering Endangered Languages Lexicons Interoperable through Standards 
Harmonization).  RELISH is a joint project between students here at LINGUIST List 
and workers at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics and the Johann 
Wolfgang Goethe Universität Frankfurt.  Our goals are to promote language-oriented 
research by attempting to harmonize digital standards for lexical information 
between Europe and America and to make existing endangered language lexicons 
interoperable.

Currently, workers on both sides of the Atlantic are working towards transforming 
the lexical output of tools such as LEXUS, ShoeBox, and even our LEGO project into 
a standardized format that can be input into all of these tools.  We are also 
working on ways to link lexical grammatical information to our linguistic ontology, 
GOLD, as well as the European ISOcat registry, allowing lexicons to become 
interoperable over grammatical information across continents.

RELISH is a project dedicated to making as much data and information available 
to the international linguistic community as possible, but it is a project that 
is untenable without your support.  To make this project a reality, please donate 
now at:

Best regards,

Erica Wicks
RELISH Team Leader 






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

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!
