Dear Subscribers,

I came to The LINGUIST List as a bright-eyed classicist straight out of
undergrad. With an arsenal of Latin conjugations and Greek declensions and
a fascination for language, I aimed to infiltrate the world of linguistics
in graduate school. Well, my fascination and enthusiasm were certainly
laudable, but to think that I was prepared to tackle the intricacies of
X-bar and lambda calculus armed with aorist tense paradigms was laughable.

But, luckily, I have The LINGUIST List, an excellent online resource at my
fingertips to help out whenever I have questions that need answering. And
so do you! Please donate today to keep the site and listserv alive:

As a student worker at The LINGUIST List, I get daily hands-on experience
with the world of linguistics, creating tools and providing a service for
people like you. Among other opportunities, I help edit submissions to the
LINGUIST List Notice Board, which is designed to help you find resources
for personal linguistic research.  You can check out or submit to our
Notice Board by visiting:

http://linguistlist.org/people/notice/

The LINGUIST List has provided me with the resources I need to not just
study in linguistics but to thrive in it. And these resources aren't just
available to me, but to all of you as well! So please help show your
support for a group that is dedicated to supporting the pool of linguistic
knowledge - even those who have just waded in - by donating today:

Thanks!
Erica Wicks

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!
