Some LINGUIST resources aren't so easy to classify. In this last letter, we've
grouped some of the lesser-known features that may be of interest to you.

LINGUIST has established a presence on a variety of social networking sites.

Various linguistic resources can only be found on the World Wide Web. Luckily,
LINGUIST has an area for that!

Web Resources/Software: This area of the LINGUIST List contains links to
websites and software devoted to natural and constructed languages, to writing
systems, and to language resources on the web (such as dictionaries).

For Web Resources, visit: http://linguistlist.org/langres/index.cfm

For Software, visit: http://linguistlist.org/sp/software-index.cfm

FYI: As mentioned in our previous letter, the FYI area contains information
that doesn't neatly fit into any single LINGUIST posting topic, such as calls
for book chapters, award recipient announcements, new journal editor
announcements, scholarship announcements, etc.
http://linguistlist.org/LL/fyi/index.cfm

Discussion: The Discussion area is one of LINGUIST's best kept secrets (but
we'd like it to be not-so-secret). Discussions posted on the LINGUIST site
have spawned many publications, collaborations, and thought-provoking
linguistic observations and ponderings. Join the discussion!
http://linguistlist.org/sp/discussion-index.cfm

Mailing Lists: There are a number of mailing lists linked in here that are
related to different facets of linguistics and language:
http://linguistlist.org/lists/index.cfm

LINGUIST's projects also cater to various linguistic interests.

GOLD, for your ontological needs: http://linguistics-ontology.org/
LL-MAP, to map and view your language data: http://www.llmap.org/
MultiTree, so you can compare language hypotheses: http://multitree.org/ and
http://ltl.emich.edu/multitree/

Tutorials: These tutorials were designed by programmers to help train
linguistics students for work at LINGUIST. They're very helpful introductions
(or, for some of you, refreshers) for the technical work linguists engage in.
http://linguistlist.org/multimedia/index.cfm#tutorials

Linguistic Blogs: Here you can see what linguists on the web have to say about
language:
http://linguistlist.org/sp/GetWRListings.cfm?WRAbbrev=Blogs

Learning Languages Other than English: These resources will help you find
language learning resources.
http://linguistlist.org/sp/GetWRListings.cfm?WRAbbrev=LangLearnOther

English Language Learning (EFL/ESL): LINGUIST also contains a variety of
resources for learning English.

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $75,000. This money will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

See below for donation instructions, and don't forget to check out Fund Drive 2014 site!

http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2014/

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!
