Date: 05-Mar-2012 From: LINGUIST List <linguistlinguistlist.org> Subject: Subfield Challenge: Who's on Top? E-mail this message to a friend Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers, At the beginning of Week Two, we've raised over $18,000! Thank you to all of our donors; you're our heroes. Of particular note today are the developments in the Subfield Challenge, which has so far been full of surprises. The lead is still held by Syntax, with Sociolinguistics and Phonetics locked in a constant battle for second place-- every time we check the leaderboards, the ranking is different! Computational Linguistics, Language Acquisition, and Semantics are fast rising behind Phonetics and Sociolinguistics, with 19 other subfields making gallant stands as well. We can't predict who will come out on top of the Battle of the Fields, but your donations can shape the future-- both the future of the Battle of the Fields (support your subfield!) and the future of LINGUIST List. Donate today, and ensure that LINGUIST will be part of the future of the discipline: http://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm Best wishes, The LINGUIST List Crew 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.

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! Read more issues\|LINGUIST home page\|Top of issue
