Date: 05-Mar-2012 From: LINGUIST List <linguistlinguistlist.org> Subject: Help keep Calls and Conferences free! E-mail this message to a friend Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers, Imagine that you have been working on an awesome and completely presentation-worthy topic. You have been working hard on your research and refining your techniques, and now you want to share your findings with other linguists. So you go to LINGUIST List and you start to search in our convenient Calls and Conferences Index when you get a big red sign that says: "Sorry, due to lack of funding we can no longer support our Calls and Conferences Index." What do you do then? What do you do if you're a graduate student and don't have any networks within the linguistics community to find out about other conferences? You see, the thing about LINGUIST List is that we do the work for you. We provide an easy-to-use web submission form for submitters to provide call and conference information. Then, we do the editing and formatting as well as any updating to the submission to keep it relevant to our users. If this resource went away, this one-stop Conference hot spot would mean a lot more steps for you to get the information you need. I don't want to see that big red sign and I don't think you do either. So consider donating today: https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm Best Regards, Amy Brunett Conferences Editor 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
