LINGUIST List 23.1453
Wed Mar 21 2012 AND NOW: Book reviews with more languages! Editor for this issue: Matthew Lahrman <mattlinguistlist.org>
Date: 21-Mar-2012 From: LINGUIST List <linguistlinguistlist.org> Subject: Reviews in Spanish and German brought to you by our wonderful Reviews Team! E-mail this message to a friend Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers, As the book reviews team for LINGUIST, we're constantly amazed at the range of books we have the pleasure of reading about and and reviewers we get to interact with. Of course, people face real challenges in writing good reviews quickly. One common challenge is writing in a language the reviewer doesn't speak natively. When the book is in a language other than English and its intended audience is speakers or readers of that language, that seems to us like an unnecessary challenge. In consultation with the LINGUIST editors, we've decided to make our book reviews multilingual, beginning immediately. We will begin by adding reviews in the languages in which we have sufficient expertise for editing: Spanish and German. Another reason to donate to LINGUIST! https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Un cordial saludo, Veronika Drake, Monica Macaulay, Rajiv Rao, Joe Salmons, Anja Wanner Your reviews team 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
