Dear LINGUIST Subscribers,

My name is Fatemeh Abdollahi, and I am currently a second 
year undergraduate student at Eastern Michigan University, 
working on the LINGUIST List. This will be the second full 
year that I have worked on Linguist List, and this has been 
an experience I know I will never forget. 

I started at LINGUIST List as their youngest hire ever, with 
a brief but strong start-up in linguistics, I was eager for 
the challenge of LINGUIST List, and I have never been 
disappointed. The things that I have learned here have proved 
invaluable to me, in every application of my life. 

I currently work on several sections of the site, as we all 
do (you'd be surprised how much work it is to keep LINGUIST 
going). My main projects are the Publications team, posting 
Table of Content submissions, the LL-map team, mapping 
linguistic information, the Grants team, writing up grant 
proposals to help fund our many project ideas, the Publicity 
team, used to get you all up-to-date with our features, and 
the Conference Organization team, organizing the plethora of 
conferences we host and participate in every year at LINGUIST 
List. All of these areas have taught me different skills, 
among these are programming, research, mapping, and editing, 
which keeps me abreast of recent developments in linguistics, 
and provides me with many interesting research ideas at the 
same time.

It always amazes me how many sections there are to our site, 
and after two years of working here I am still constantly 
surprised by the information we store. In what other discipline 
is there a facility in which e-mails about job postings, 
conferences, TOC's etc. are e-mailed to over 26,000 people 
at once? In what disciplines are projects created that provide 
free use to their subscribers, all for the sake of the 
discipline itself? LINGUIST List provides an avenue for 
tying together people and information from all areas of 
Linguistics that has not been replicated in any other field 
to date, and we need your help to keep this going!

Working with intelligent linguists day-in and day-out has 
been an invaluable experience, and I would like to ask you 
to please continue to make this possible. We're a nonprofit 
organization, which has no way of continuing without your 
generous contributions. If you use LINGUIST at all, please 
seriously consider contributing this year. Without your 
contributions LINGUIST could not continue to turn out the 
amazing content that we do, year after year. We are willing 
to work as hard as we can to ensure you continue to get this 
great service, but it's not possible without your help. 
Please continue to show that you appreciate us by donating 
to the fund drive!

Thank you for all of your support,

Fatemeh Abdollahi

Dear Subscribers,

Thank you for joining us in another year of the LINGUIST List 
fund-drive. Every contribution goes a long way in helping us 
continue providing the services we do, year after year. 

As you may have gathered from the other letters that 
have gone out during this fund-drive season, we have many 
teams here at the LINGUIST List, so that we can have small 
groups of people devoting themselves to three or four tasks, 
instead of all of us working on everything. I have been 
fortunate to have been working on the publications team for 
the past two years, and have seen some fantastic projects 
come to life. The publications team is in charge of making 
sure that current book, journal, and table of contents 
information is broadcast to the users, as well as maintaining 
a thorough database of these materials for the users perusal 
at any time (if you're interested in hearing more about the 
publications team please look for the publications letter 
going out this fund-drive). In addition to these posting duties, 
we have recently developed two exciting features.

In 2007 we had the pleasure of creating Cambridge Extra, a free 
online resource for linguists worldwide. This resource features 
exclusive articles, podcasts, competitions and offers, all in 
the same place and all for free! With over 46,000 hits since 
its creation, we count Cambridge extra as one of our most 
successful developments! You can visit the Cambridge Extra site 
and read the articles, enter a competition for prizes and get 
discounts on Cambridge University Press titles at:

http://linguistlist.org/cambridgeextra/.

In addition to this exciting resource we have developed 
Wiley-Blackwell Language & Linguistics Compass Discussion Forum! 
This feature allows you to read the full text of selected articles 
for free online. After reading, you can post a comment on the 
article's discussion page, or read what others have said. This is 
a wonderful opportunity to read newly published linguistics 
articles and engage in a discussion of the ideas. Find the links 
to all articles and their discussion pages at: 

http://linguistlist.org/pubs/blackwell/compass_index.cfm.

We update these resources as often as possible, and would love 
to hear suggestions from you as to which articles you would be 
interested in seeing featured, as well as looking forward to 
reading any comments you post on Wiley-Blackwell's Compass 
Discussion Forum! We are always looking for new resources that 
can help foster interest and education in the Linguistics 
community; after all, that's what we're here for! 

Thank you in advance for your contributions this fund-drive season!

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $60,000. This money will go to help

2009 LINGUIST List Restaurant and join us for a delightful treat!

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at  
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to:
https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm

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!
