linguistlist.org>Dear Linguists, Through the Calls For Papers and Conference Announcements, LINGUIST informs the linguistics community about regional, national, and international conferences that take place around the globe. In the year 2001, LINGUIST posted over 930 Calls and 285 Confs! By publishing hundreds of conference announcements and calls for papers per year, LINGUIST provides a very valuable and central location for linguists to obtain conference information. Because of the nature of the field of Linguistics, we realize that the linguistic community is world wide. However, until the coming of the age of the internet, it was much more difficult, even impossible for some, to be involved with their international colleagues. LINGUIST creates that professional link, and it is evidenced by the increasingly global nature of conferences. In fact, conference organizers have told us that their conference attendance has become more international, and the general quality of the papers has improved because of the increasing number of submissions. Perhaps this increase in international participation is due in part to the hundreds of calls and conferences that are posted each year by LINGUIST List. Nevertheless, LINGUIST List's existence is fully reliant upon the support it receives from the discipline. That support is both the use of the List and monetary. Although Wayne State University and Eastern Michigan University provide generous administrative support, we also require a growing student staff which is funded primarily by subscriber donations. This year we will need $48,000 to continue to fund our student editors and continue to keep LINGUIST running. So far in our Year 2002 fund drive, we have received $27,957 thanks to the generosity of the persons and institutions whose names appear at the bottom of this page. If you found out about a conference through our postings, or if you successfully replied to a call, please show your appreciation by making a donation. In return, we'll show our appreciation by continually improving our web site and our services. Without the support we've had over the years, we would not be in the position we are today, having our own server with up to date software to send issues, and our own machines on which to edit the issues. Over recent years, the number of companies offering free internet service or free personal web hosting has declined to almost zero in (at least) Europe and America; this reflects the very high cost of running any web-based organization, LINGUIST List included, and the difficulty in keeping it free from subscription charge. So please give us your support and go to http://linguistlist.org/donate.html to send us your pledge. From there you have the choice of donating straight away by credit card using our secure form, or you can send us a cheque later. If you do send a cheque, please make it payable in US dollars; we get charged about $50 a time to convert currency (no such problems with a credit card). Alternatively, you can hit "Reply" to this message and send us your pledge right now by email, prior to sending your cheque. Then we will be able to list you immediately as one of our donors; and we may be able to reach our goal (and halt these Fund Drive messages) a bit earlier. The address to send cheques is as follows: The LINGUIST Editorial Support Fund c/o Helen Aristar-Dry Dept. of English Eastern Michigan University Ypsilanti, MI USA 48197 As a 501(c)3 organization, LINGUIST qualifies for corporate donation-matching programs; and, of course, your donation is tax deductible. Don't forget that in return for a donation of $25 or more, we would like to send you a gift. Whisphered rumours from the fashion industry suggest that a $30 LINGUIST List T-shirt is going to be the must-have item for this summer*. You can see them modelled at http://linguistlist.org/premiums.html, along with the other gifts we have to offer such as baby T-shirts and tote bags. Do let us know in your pledge what you would like and remember to let us know your mailing address. We at LINGUIST really do appreciate your support. We could not continue without you. With our sincere thanks, The LINGUIST Crew: Anthony, Helen, Andrew, Karen, Naomi, Heather, James, Michael, Zhen-Wei, Richard, Karolina, Dina, Renee, Steve, Marie, Gayathri, John, Ljuba, Terry, Simin, Tomoko. * There is the possibility of us mishearing.

linguistlist.org>Dear subscribers, We thought you'd like to hear from some of the students your funds are supporting. So this year each fund drive issue will include a brief paragraph from one of our editors telling you, their sponsors, about their work with LINGUIST. And now, few words from Renee Galvis... 2001 was an exciting year for me, as I began work on my M.A. in Linguistics at Wayne State University. Ironically, I discovered the program through LinguistList, which I found while searching the web! You can imagine my excitement when I had the opportunity to join LINGUIST as an editor later the same year! I suppose you could say that LINGUIST got the "two-for-one special" when they let me join the crew; our newest little Linguist, Niko, was born December 15, 2001! (You can see him modeling the Baby Linguist T-Shirt at http://linguistlist.org/premiums.html but I'm not a proud Mami!) With LINGUIST, I have had the opportunity to learn new skills through editing as well as increase my knowledge of the field of linguistics itself, and as one of the newest editors for LINGUIST I feel honored to work with such a fabulous crew. More than anything, I feel (as I am sure you do) connected to and a part of what is going on in linguistics throughout the world! Long live Linguist List!
