******************************** *** Fund Drive 2003 *** ******************************** *** Target: $50000 *** *** Total So Far: $35095.52 *** *** Only $14904.48 to go! *** ******************************** Dear LINGUISTS, If you've been subscribing to LINGUIST for any amount of time, you know that every year during fund drive we send out a letter entitled "Where are they now?" which talks about the students you have previously supported through your donations to LINGUIST. I'm actually the one who's written this letter for the last two fund drives; and at the last meeting when the question was asked, "Who's going to write about the former editors?", everyone looked my way again. It's fun to write about what happens to students who were supported by LINGUIST fellowships after they leave us, because former editors are pretty successful in the field! But there is a bittersweet reality to writing these letters: the longer you hang around working for LINGUIST, the more the people you're writing about are your friends-- people you went to class with, labored through projects and LINGUIST work with, crossed fingers with when they applied to PhD programs, and bought a last beer for on the night before they moved upward and onward. And, the longer you work for LINGUIST, the closer you are to BECOMING one of those people and leaving this experience behind. I've spent this fall and spring preparing my applications for PhD programs in linguistics, training the continuing LINGUIST editors in how to do the things I do around here, and getting used to the idea that, very shortly, LINGUIST will be something I see from the outside like the rest of the linguistic community. So, I suppose you could call me a "LINGUIST where-are-they-now? in the making". But I'm not the only one doing this right now. This year, four LINGUIST editors are finishing their M.A. programs, and all are applying to Ph.D. programs in linguistics. Thus they are joining the many former LINGUIST editors who have continued to study and work in the field. Through LINGUIST's 14 year history, 39 students have been supported by LINGUIST List fellowships. Nineteen are still in M.A. programs, but 20 LINGUIST editors have completed their M.A. degrees. Of these 20... - 3 have already finished Ph.D.'s in linguistics. In fact, one is a tenured professor! - 2 are finishing their linguistics dissertations this year. - 5 others are enrolled in Ph.D. programs at leading universities--4 in linguistics programs and 1 in computer science. - 4 have gone directly from their M.A.'s to careers in computing (3) or graphic design (1). And then there's me. I wouldn't have done my M.A. in linguistics if I hadn't been funded by LINGUIST. There's only so much money out there, and the LINGUIST fellowship is one of the few fellowships a student at the master's level can get. And I think it goes without saying (I'll say it anyway), if I had not done my M.A. in linguistics, I wouldn't be doing my Ph.D. in linguistics. The bottom line is this -- by supporting LINGUIST, even in a small way like $10 or $20, you enable the students who work for LINGUIST to continue their work as editors--and, more importantly, to continue their work as students and linguists. I know it seems like money is tight, especially with the economy in the shape it's in right now, but if the money doesn't keep circulating, everyone loses out. LINGUIST can't support its students, and the information LINGUIST provides the community freely will be lost to everyone. So, even if you're getting sick of these fund drive letters, please think about donating just a small amount now. It really is one the most direct ways you can contribute toward the education of linguists and the future of the field. Thanks!

Dear Subscribers, When you meet someone and you tell them you're a linguist, what's the first thing they ask? Something like how many languages do you speak, right? Well, I have an even better scenario. Whenever I meet a linguist who DOESN'T work with me on LINGUIST List, the first question asked is usually "so, what is it like to work for LINGUIST?" It's like a reality TV show for the web. You and your closest 14 colleagues share three offices and some computers and everything you do gets displayed for "the entire linguistics community" to see. You end up spending every waking hour with these same people from the three offices. I'll leave the office, go home, then check something online from home. Then I'll start chatting with another editor on instant messenger about how someone's birthday is coming up, or did you hear about so-and-so's paper got accepted at a conference, or oh my god, I will never finish the paper on time with everything else I have to do! We travel to conferences together, we collaborate on projects together, we criticize each other's theoretical approaches and subfields together (haha!) -- you get the picture. We get into these ridiculous conversations about what a pig "says" in every language represented in staff. But just to demonstrate how hard some people around here work, I'll tell some true stories. I take care of the voicemail at LINGUIST (what a skill!). I called the voicemail one night at 2 am to change the outgoing message. Someone answered the phone and was at the office working! Another time, an editor came in from Europe jetlagged at 9 pm, grabbed a quick beer at the local pub, then came into the office to check e-mail and post issues. Editors go on vacations, attend conferences, visit family, and will keep posting issues for LINGUIST from some computer in a corner somewhere! (As I'm writing this, it seems so pathetic!) We have fun, too, going to parties and staying up late watching old movies and we celebrate a lot together. The LINGUIST staff might be the tightest group of colleagues and it's awesome to be part of it! All in all, working for LINGUIST is great and I'm going to miss it next year. Even that's a funny story -- my good friend James Yuells reminded that I should say how many times I've thought I was "done" working at LINGUIST. During at least three different semesters in my MA program, I thought I was working for LINGUIST for my last few months. Luckily, there has always been funding to last at least another semester. So, I get to work for LINGUIST through this July, right before I'm off to my PhD program this fall. Pretty cool. Thank you very much for keeping me eating and going to classes throughout my MA degree!

This year we hope to raise $50,000 to support the students who work on LINGUIST List and keep the list running. Thank you from all the crew for your support. The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor. Many companies also offer a gift matching scheme, such that they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a scheme. HOW TO DONATE You can make a contribution by selecting one of three convenient payment methods: secure credit card form, check, or wire transfer.
