 Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers, 

Happy weekend! We are on our way to hitting the $25,000 mark soon! Will you help us reach that number today by donating? We are so grateful for all of the donations that have come in during the first three weeks on Fund Drive, but are still a long way from our goal of $79,000. 

http://funddrive.linguistlist.org/donate/ 

As a reminder, we have several donation benefits you can enjoy no matter how much you donate. Along with supporting LINGUIST, you can use your donation to help your university, business and subfield in our challenges! 

In our Subfield Challenge, we syntax continues to lead at the end of Week 4, but we now have 25 out of 27 subfields represented! Sociolinguistics and computational linguistics continue to fight for second place, but sociolinguistics currently holds the spot! Computational linguists, just one donation could put you back on top!

Please visit http://funddrive.linguistlist.org/subfield/ for a full list! 

In our University Challenge, we currently have representation from 160 universities from all over the world! So far, three universities have donated over $1,000 each! IU Bloomington continues to hold first place, with the University of Washington in second and Stanford University in third! 

Today we received donations from the University of Kentucky, Louisiana State University, University of Iowa, California State University, Fresno, Univeristé de la Sorbonne Nouvelle - Paris 3, and SOAS, University of London! Thank you all! 

Please visit http://funddrive.linguistlist.org/university/ for a full list of universities! 

Microsoft Natural Language Group continues to Business Challenge! Donate under your company’s name to add its name to our list!

We thank everyone for their support during our first four weeks of Fund Drive and ask all of our subscribers to show their support in any amount that they can! We cannot do what we do without your support!

The LINGUIST List Team
