The Cross-Linguistic Linked Data project and the Max Planck Institute for
Evolutionary Anthropology are pleased to make publicly available the
Intercontinental Dictionary Series (IDS) at ids.clld.org. The IDS, originally
conceived by the late Mary Ritchie Key (University of California Irvine) and
continued by Bernard Comrie (University of California Santa Barbara) is a
database where lexical material across the languages of the world is organized
in such a way that comparisons can be made. Historical and comparative studies
and theoretical linguistic research can be based on this documentation.
Questions and comments should be addressed to ids at shh.mpg.de.

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!
