Subject: Babel Young Writers' Competition

 
This year, Babel: The Language Magazine (http://babelzine.com/) is once more
celebrating young linguists' insights into language with our Babel Young
Writers' Competition.  We will be publishing two articles representing both
16–18-year-old linguists and linguistics undergraduates.  The articles will be
published in Babel № 17, due out in November 2016.  If you are a keen Babel
reader or language lover, get writing to be in with a chance to get yourself
published – as well as a free subscription to Babel 2017!

Visit http://babelzine.com/events to read our previous winners and pick up
some inspiration!  Jonathan Lahdo was our 16–18-year-old winner with his
article on sociolinguistic evolution in Lebanon, while Ollie Sayeed claimed
our undergraduates prize for his investigation into what spoonerisms can tell
us about how language is represented in the mind.

16–18 Competition: Are you aged between 16 and 18 and would like to share your
love of language with the world? Send us an article on any topic to do with
language and linguistics to win the chance to begin your publishing career!

Undergraduate Competition: Are you studying for a linguistics-related degree
and fancy a break from your usual assignments? Write a special essay for Babel
readers and get the pleasure of seeing your work in print!

Entries must be no longer than 2500 words, in English, and deal with an
interesting and accessible topic to do with language. Please e-mail your entry
to editors at babelzine.com with the title ''16–18 Competition'' or
''Undergraduate Competition''.

16–18 Competition entrants must provide details of their institution and a
teacher.

Undergraduate Competition winners must submit their entries from their
university e-mail address (e.g. student at uni.ac.uk) and must provide contact
details of a teacher at their institution.

The deadline for entries is Friday 26 August 2016. We will acknowledge receipt
of your entry soon after receiving it, and announce the winners in October
2016.  Good luck!

This year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $79,000. This money 
will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our 
Student Editors for the coming year.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the 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 Indiana University 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!
