Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,

Imagine for a moment that you are able to visually 
represent language information in a virtual sphere. 
Imagine also you are able to dynamically layer different 
types of information over each other to query, search 
and manipulate the data in order to see linguistic 
patterns that you wouldn't have been able to see with 
static paper maps alone. Imagine if you will the ability 
to upload linguistic data via a user-friendly uploading 
facility. No need to imagine any longer! 

LL-MAP--a language mapping facility--is here!
http://llmap.org/

And, I am happy to announce that with each month, LL-MAP gets more 
inventive, more data-driven and more user-friendly. 

And don't forget, it is your generous support that 
keeps us going month after month:

I could continue to tell you about how you can use 
LL-MAP and why it is an important resource, but now 
I want to get personal. Since I joined the team three 
years ago, I have seen a tremendous amount of work 
put into the development and maintenance of LL-MAP. 
I myself have gone from a team member who digitized 
paper maps to someone who collected data herself 
and created a map from that work. Now, I also assist
others in learning the programs and techniques to create 
dynamic maps. I am surrounded by creative individuals 
who are striving to make LL-MAP an even more useful 
project. It is these things that make me proud to be a 
team leader for LL-MAP. It is these things that make me 
light up when I tell someone what I do for a living.
Come see more here of this great project here!

It is through your support that several graduate students 
get to work on such a stimulating and important project 
as LL-MAP. Also note that each contribution is going 
towards more research and findings into the growing 
field of geolinguistics. Please donate today:

Thank you for supporting LINGUIST List!

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!
