Karen Milligan - Wayne State University

In addition to showcasing famous linguists who have been influential in our lives, we'd also like to shine some light on former LINGUIST Listers who have gone on to bigger and better (is it possible to be better than LINGUIST?) things. With the help of subscriber donations, these "LINGUISTs of the Day" were able to complete their M.A. degrees. Please donate now so we can keep these success stories coming!

Sincerely,
The 2006 LINGUIST Crew
