From ssila at listserv.linguistlist.org Tue Nov 11 16:02:51 2014 From: ssila at listserv.linguistlist.org (Society for the Study of the Indigenous Languages of the Americas) Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2014 10:02:51 -0600 Subject: [SSILA] The new ssila.org and a new member benefit from IJAL Message-ID: Dear SSILA Member: *From the Vice President:* I?m elated the new SSILA website is now active. It will reinvigorate communications among SSILA members. Under the guidance of Victor Golla, we first kept in touch between meetings by means of paper Bulletins, Newsletters and Membership Lists mailed to each of us. As the internet developed, we started receiving SSILA news by email. Then the original SSILA website came to life; my thanks to Bill Poser for managing it. Now we have a redesigned site with many interactive features; thank you Danny Hieber and Ivy Doak for making this happen. Everyone, please, send your thoughts and news to the news editors to share with the rest of the members. See you in Portland, January 2015, Alice Taff SSILA VP *New SSILA Member Benefit: Add-on IJAL at 50% off* SSILA is excited to announce a new partnership with the University of Chicago Press to offer active members a valuable new benefit! The International Journal of American Linguistics will now be offered as a membership add-on item. Starting with the 2015 membership year, a deeply discounted IJAL subscription is $36 plus applicable shipping and taxes* [regularly $71]. That?s only $56 a year for SSILA + IJAL!
