linguistlist.org>As 1999 draws to a close, we'd like to thank our 1999 donors once again and to remind those of you that have not yet made a contribution that LINGUIST is a non-profit organization, with 501C tax status (in the USA). In other words, your donation--should you care to make one--would be tax-deductible. We hope you will--not only because LINGUIST needs money (as usual!) to sustain its services, but also because your contributions help deserving graduate students who serve as editors or computer programmers for LINGUIST. Your donations are currently funding 8 students. They not only constitute one of our best crews in years but--as you will see from the list below--are remarkably diverse in interests and nationalities: >From Eastern Michigan University: Scott Fults.. Received his Bachelor's degree in English from the University of Michigan. He is now finishing up his Master's degree in Linguistics, focusing on formal syntax and semantics. Lydia Grebenyova... Born and raised in Russia, Lydia completed her degree in Foreign Languages at the Pedogogical University of Voronezh and is now a graduate student in Linguistics. Long fascinated by language, she is interested in its structural/formal aspects. Naomi Ogasawara.. . Is ffrom Chiba prefecture (next to Tokyo) in Japan, where she earned her B.A. in Business Admistration. With 7 years teaching experience (English and Japanese) in Japan, she is finishing up her M.A. in TESOL at Eastern Michigan University. She is also working on a second M.A. in Linguistics. Qian Liao... Comes from the southwest of China, where she received her Bachelor's degree in Applied Chemistry in 1992. After working 4 years at Luoyang Petrochemical Engineering Corporation as a process engineer, she went to graduate school at the University of Petroleum in 1996. Qian came to the USA in 1998 and is currently studying Computer Science at Eastern Michigan University. >From Wayne State University: Jody Heullmantel... Is an artist specializing in sculpture and photography and has her B.F.A degree from the Center for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan. She has turned her attention to Linguistics and is currently working on her Master's degree. Karen Milligan... A former professional dancer, she received her degree in Speech and Drama from Mercy College of Detroit, Michigan. Director of Milligan School of Ballet for 21 years, she is now also persuing a Master's degree in Linguistics and is interested in child language acquisition. James Yuells... Having lived and worked in Russia, James is now back home working on two degrees,a B.A in Linguistics and a B.F.A. in Photography. Sudheendra Adiga... Comes to us from India where he received his B.S.in Engineering from the Bangalore University. He is currently a graduate student in the Computer Science program. His specialties include C, Unix Internals, and Web Technologies. (And, by the way. . . . It's not only a great crew but an expanding one. We will shortly be calling for applications for another LINGUIST List-sponsored fellowship at Eastern Michigan U.. So if any of you know of an able linguistics student who would like to pursue an American M.A., we hope you'll bring the LINGUIST fellowship to their attention.) This year the crew has been hard at work on several inovations (which you will hear more about when we kick off the 2000 fund drive in March). For example: Instituting the Jobs Information page Improving the search engine Starting the LINGUIST cookbook (web-version) Expanding our book announcement service (a record 23 publishers announced linguistic books on LINGUIST last year, so we were able to bring you announcements of almost all the linguistic publications in the field.) And our biggest and most exciting developments, The Multi-list Archiving Project and the Full Site Search Facility (details in the next issue of All) are well underway. As you can see, your money is being put to good use, for without your support all of these projects would be impossible. So if you have not yet contributed to LINGUIST, think about doing so before Dec 23 and getting that tax write-off. You can contribute by credit card at http://linguistlist.org/donation.html or send a check to: The LINGUIST Editorial Support Fund c/o Dept. of English Language and Literature Eastern Michigan University Ypsilanti, MI 48197 Many of you, of course, have already contributed. The names of our 1999 contributors are listed below and at: http://linguistlist.org/contributors.html To these 230 generous supporters, we offer our heartiest thanks.
