Dear Subscribers, 
 
Marie Alexander is our latest Linguist of the 
day! Read her fascinating story on the Fund 
Drive site. 
 
Her story starts like this: 
 
"My first memory of anything related to linguistics 
is parsing exercises during secondary school at the 
age of 12 or 13. I hated it because I considered it 
an utter waste of time. I thought it would have been 
so much better to be allowed to write creatively rather 
than dissect sentences that were not even intended 
to communicate a real thought. Exposure to languages 
is a way of life for many Maltese." 
 
Read her story, get inspired, donate to LINGUIST!

The LINGUIST List 

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $67,000. This money will go to help 
keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

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!
