Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,

My name is Brent Woo, and I'm a student editor at the LINGUIST List. When I joined 
the LINGUIST as an intern the summer after my graduation, I learned just how complex 
and involved the work here is. The LINGUIST List is normally where we go to find job 
postings, conference announcements, and new publications. But did you know about 
these other resources available here?

* Anyone can post to the entire list a Query, which solicits from the 
community participation in their online survey for research or advice on finding 
publications relevant to their research topic. 

(https://linguistlist.org/pubs/sums/index.cfm) 

* We have a database of thousands of Web Resources, which includes lists of: 
- Dictionaries (https://linguistlist.org/sp/GetWRListings.cfm?WRAbbrev=Dict)
- University programs (https://linguistlist.org/teach/programs/)
- Exercises like an IPA Trainer 
(https://linguistlist.org/sp/GetWRListings.cfm?WRAbbrev=Exercises)

* The Student Portal provides resources for students, answering some of the common 
questions students have about linguistic careers by guiding students through 
the site. 
(http://linguistlist.org/studentportal/)

* Our projects, LL-MAP, where you can visualize and compare language distributions 
on a map (See this example: http://www.llmap.org/viewer.html?maps=108530), and 
MultiTree, where you can compare language family hypotheses (See this example: 
http://multitree.org/trees/Tai-Kadai:%20Ethnologue%202005;Tai-Kadai:%20Dryer%202005).

The LINGUIST List has a lot of things, but it doesn't have infinite funding. 

The entire operation of the List is fueled by and dependent on donations. Before 
coming to work here as a graduate assistant, I didn't know that it took this many 
people to run the List. I also didn't understand the urgency and necessity of 
donation support. But now I do. As the linguistic community grows, the work the List 
does is far more involved and important than ever, and we need your support to 
continue. 

We are grateful for your support and be assured that it is an investment well spent.

Donate today:

Thanks, 

Brent Woo

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!
