Date: 05-Mar-2012 From: LINGUIST List <linguistlinguistlist.org> Subject: A letter from Student Editor Amy Brunett E-mail this message to a friend Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers, LINGUIST List keeps you on your feet. It has been three years since I started working here now, and each year I have something new to tell you, some new adventure to share with you. The first time I wrote to you it was to tell you about my fieldwork experiences in Chiapas, Mexico and making a map from it for the LL-MAP project (llmap.org). The second time I wrote you had to do with creating a small online lexicon for LEGO http://lego.linguistlist.org). It is well known now that LINGUIST List is a training ground for students. So what do I have to share with you this time? In addition to my responsibilities as a team leader for LL-MAP, I have begun working on the ELCat team. Having seen a project start from scratch and having watched it develop into a thorough and comprehensive resource on endangered languages, I am so proud to say that I had a part in it. Other opportunities this year I had were to learn video and audio editing for upcoming vlogs, tutorials and videos on our youtube page (http://www.youtube.com/user/linguistlist). The research and applied skills I have learned this semester are remarkable. If it wasn't for our subscribers this wouldn't be possible! LINGUIST List provides students with a perspective that goes well beyond the classroom.
