Date: 26-Mar-2007 From: linguist <linguistlinguistlist.org> Subject: Editor Jeremy Taylor on Resource Accessibility Dear Subscribers, My name is Jeremy Taylor. I am an editor for conference calls and announcements. I correspond daily with conference organizers from around the world to ensure conference information is up-to-date and accessible to all. I routinely add requested changes such as start dates and registration deadline reminders to our online database. I am also working with a team of fellow LINGUIST crew members to improve the conference submission user-interface by making it more intuitive, efficient, and speedy. I enjoy the opportunity to work for LINGUIST because I believe that the more easily we can make resources accessible to all of you linguists around the world, the faster and stronger the discipline of linguistics itself will grow and develop. So I am personally pleased that I can play a small part in that growth. Of course, all of you also play a part in this endeavor because your annual donations help support graduate students like me in running the LINGUIST List! You are ensuring the continuation of this great free resource and also enabling students to have an exceptionally valuable learning experience in their chosen field. So my thanks to all of you for your donations to Fund Drive 2007! Don't forget to look below to find out how many calls were posted this year in your subfield. Jeremy Taylor LINGUIST Editor Message 2: Calls & Confs: The Facts
Date: 26-Mar-2007 From: linguist <linguistlinguistlist.org> Subject: Calls & Confs: The Facts Dear Subscribers, No matter what your area of expertise or interest may be, we offer detailed conference announcements to connect you with fellow scholars all across the world. Our Calls and Conferences area already contains nearly 200 conference announcements and calls for papers for 2007 alone. Conference announcements and calls for papers for 2008 are already up and viewable as well. Most conferences deal with multiple topics, so a variety of scholars can submit papers and share the most cutting-edge information. For the years 2007 and 2008, the following list shows just how many conferences per linguistic subfield we currently have for you to choose from in our database: 20 Anthropological Linguistics 81 Applied Linguistics 33 Cognitive Science 76 Computational Linguistics 3 Discipline of Linguistics 44 Discourse Analysis 2 Forensic Linguistics 100+ General Linguistics 40 Historical Linguistics 5 History of Linguistics 41 Language Acquisition 10 Language Description 13 Lexicography 20 Linguistics and Literature 19 Linguistic Theories 15 Morphology 7 Neurolinguistics 4 Philosophy of Language 19 Phonetics 27 Phonology 36 Pragmatics 19 Psycholinguistics 50 Semantics 60 Sociolinguistics 35 Syntax 34 Text/Corpus Linguistics 17 Translation 19 Typology 3 Writing Systems Within the Calls & Conferences facility, you can submit a conference announcement, or a call for papers, or the program for an existing conference. Posting conferences, programs, and calls on LINGUIST is a free and highly efficient means of reaching potential participants anywhere in the world about your activities. After assuring that all crucial information is provided, your posting will be emailed to over 26,000 linguists who currently subscribe to have these important notices sent to them. You can also search through all past and current conferences by a combination of topic, date, language, title, or location. Once you find a conference you are interested in, you can view detailed program information and the call for papers that includes instructions on how to submit your paper. The following link will take you to the Calls & Conferences facility: http://www.linguistlist.org/callconf/index.html It is our goal that these free public services will continue to promote interconnections within the global linguistics community and contribute to the growth of linguistics as a mature discipline. However, we rely crucially on your support each year during our Annual Fund Drive. By contributing a donation, no matter how small, you enable us, and especially our graduate students, to continue working to provide you these valuable services. We are very grateful for your support and always welcome comments you may have to improve our services. Thank you for taking the time today to participate in our goals! Sincerely, The LINGUIST Crew This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $55,000. This money will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year. See below for donation instructions, and don't forget to check out our Fund Drive 2007 LINGUIST List Superhero Adventure for some Fund Drive fun! http://linguistlist.org/donation/fund-drive2007/ There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST! You can donate right now using our secure credit card form. Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to donate by check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit: http://linguistlist.org/donate.html 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 program, 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 program. Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We would like to thank all of the publishers and subscribers who donated prizes for this year's Fund Drive games, puzzles, and competitions.
