Greetings Linguists!
The May 2011 issue of Speculative Grammarian--the premier scholarly journal
featuring research in the neglected field of satirical linguistics--is now
available online for your browsing pleasure.
http://SpecGram.com/CLXI.4/
Included in this jinky issue--mad hardcore articles, including an
investigation into cryptolexicography, an explication of reduplicated
dinosaurs, observations concerning a mystery manuscript, and an
accumulation of things you didn't know you didn't know--along with the
usual high-quality collection of letters from our readers, cartoons,
puzzles, and more...
Next time (June 2011), we will have another all-new issue of Speculative
Grammarian.
Enjoy!
Trey Jones
Managing Editor, Speculative Grammarian

P.S.: We're still looking for new contributors--we're seeking witty,
erudite papers in satirical linguistics that demonstrate a comprehensive
knowledge of the field of linguistics as a whole, a subtle wit, and a
refined sense of written language. However, as those kinds of papers are
pretty hard to come by, we're *accepting* papers that are moderately
clever, can be edited into some passable form, and don't rely too heavily
on bodily function humor. More information is available here at

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!
