linguistlist.org>Dear LINGUIST subscribers, Believe it or not, a whole year has passed since we asked you to show your support of LINGUIST by making a donation. It is now time for us to call upon your generosity once again. You guessed it--the annual LINGUIST Fund Drive has officially begun! Last year we raised amounts that exceeded our goal of $50,000--we ended up raising over $57,000! This year we have set our target at $60,000. We need your help! - For the over 1,230 of of you that did donate last year - Thank you once again! We hope that the services we provide have been useful and have improved, making you feel satisfied that the donation was worthwhile. We now humbly request that you extend your generosity and support us once again. - For those of you that might not have supported LINGUIST yet, we hope that within the next few weeks we can convince you that by making a donation; you really are contributing to a worthy cause. To anyone just entering the field of linguistics it would appear that LINGUIST has been around forever. And given its current "high profile" role in the discipline, it's easy to forget that LINGUIST began with an unassuming message in December of 1990, announcing the formation of a list whose goal is "to provide a forum for the discussion of those issues which interest professional linguists". You can view this relic at: http://linguistlist.org/issues/1/1-0.html . In the first year of the LINGUIST List, listed subscribers numbered 161; there were no student editors; and the crew numbered two--founders Anthony Aristar and Helen Dry! During its first year in operation, LINGUIST published 868 issues under just 5 topics: All, Confs, Calls, Disc, and Miscellaneous. And as testament to the fact that the "crew" was two university professors, a majority of the issues were posted on Sundays, and there were many days when no issues were posted at all! It is now over thirteen years later, and we have more than 18,700 LINGUIST subscribers in 107 different countries. However, in these thirteen years, the LINGUIST List has grown into more than a mailing list. There are now more than 2000 webpages that form the LINGUIST List website. These pages, together with the gigantic amount of data that is stored on our database server, are all accessible for free! Where do you go if you want to find a job or postgraduate position? Where do you find out about all the latest linguistic publications? How can you disseminate your PhD dissertation to the community? The answer to these and many other questions is The LINGUIST List. In the weeks to come we will send you emails from our student editors, each one highlighting different aspects of the site and some of the behind the scenes stuff as well. Each email will also ask you, very nicely of course, to make a small donation to LINGUIST. The money we raise each year goes directly to supporting these students (of which I am one) through their Masters degree, and keeps LINGUIST operating and improving its services. And how will we thank you for your kindness? Every year we like to give our donors a gift, and this year is no exception. In Addition to all of our regular premiums that you may remember from past fund drives, this year we are offering a newly-designed long sleeve T-Shirts and a LINGUIST List mousepad! Please see our premiums page at: http://www.linguistlist.org/premiums.html for pictures of the new shirts along with pictures and descriptions of all of our other premiums. The LINGUIST List is free to subscribers, always has been, and hopefully always will be! Please help us reach our target of $60,000. Even a small donation really does make a difference! To donate now using our secure credit card form, please visit: http://www.linguistlist.org/donate.html For all the information on how to donate, or how to pledge, please visit: http://linguistlist.org/donation.html Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!!Mail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
