Dear Subscribers,

We have the pleasure to feature another one of our
advisers: Farzad Sharifian from Edith Cowan University.

He sends all our subscribers a note that starts as 
follows:

"It is our turn now to contribute! LINGUIST has been a 
gem for the linguistic community and I can't envisage the 
community progressing without it. I have never known of a 
counterpart for LINGUIST in any other academic community. 
I personally, as well as my department, have relied so much 
on LINGUIST over the years for many purposes, including 
posting conference information, queries, job advertisements, 
books and journal announcements, new course information, 
and call for papers/chapters. Most recently we have set up 
an abstract submission page on the LINGUIST, which is a 
remarkable resource for conference organization. 

Over the past several years I have had the privilege to 
be an advisor of the LINGUIST and have closely been 
observing the dedication of the LINGUIST team to this great 
cause, which has significantly improved the life of the 
community of linguists and applied linguists around the world. 
I congratulate Helen, Anthony, and the crew for the fantastic 
job that they have done over the years in providing a unique 
and precious platform for the community. We can return a very 
small part of their generous contribution by donating to the 
LINGUIST, any amount that we can. It is now our turn to show 
our appreciation for what we have gained from this invaluable 
resource. Your donation would be highly appreciated and will 
ensure that LINGUIST continues to flourish. 

I feel honoured to be invited to serve as one of the 
spokespersons for the Advisors in 2011."

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!
