Dear Subscribers, I've been at LINGUIST List for six months now - and what a ride it's been! I often feel that for big parts of our linguistics community, The LINGUIST List is an important intersection, a crossroad or a hub. Everyone comes here for one reason or other - to tell others about new books, to look for interesting articles for their journals, to discuss their latest thoughts on the many mailing lists, to manage their conferences, to look for a new job or to search our immense databases for language information. To be at the center of all is exhilarating. Each day is full of new challenges - the LINGUIST site and all our different services to the linguistic community are very complex and require a lot of attention, and I interact daily with many linguists from across the globe. On top of that, we have several projects that are all at the cutting edge of applied computational linguistics. I get to be part of a dynamic multicultural team of experienced as well as beginner researchers that sets out to tackle such problems as accurate language mapping with GIS, the future interoperability of all language lexicons or how different hypotheses of language relationships can best be compared and evaluated using new technology. I post journal Calls for Papers, information on new, interesting journals, and am responsible for continuously updating our growing list of freely available corpuses on a multitude of languages, speech analysis software, automatic text taggers, automatic document summary applications and many other exciting tools. I can see every week how the Computational Linguistics field is growing, and get to talk with many innovative researchers. None of this would be possible without your economic support. All the services The LINGUIST List provide are dependent on the international group of graduate students gathered here. We need money for tuition and rent, and every once in a while we have to eat something too.
