Tue Mar 27 2012 Linguist of the Day: Angelika Kratzer! Editor for this issue: Matthew Lahrman <mattlinguistlist.org>
Date: 27-Mar-2012 From: LINGUIST List <linguistlinguistlist.org> Subject: The Hall of Heroes welcomes another great linguist! E-mail this message to a friend Dear LINGUIST List readers, Our newest valiant hero has joined the Hall of Heroes; we are proud to announce renowned semanticist Angelika Kratzer as our newest Linguist of the Day! What she has written is especially relevant for us as student editors, and we'd like to share some of it with you here: "I love being a teacher. I wish my students, both graduates and undergraduates, knew how much I learn from them. The graduate students push me to do the research I do. They force me to go further into a topic than I would possibly manage on my own. I wish they were paid as well as I am. My undergraduates teach me what linguistics and semantics is all about: They insist on clear answers to the big questions. One of the greatest joys of my career has been to work with others on how to teach semantics." Read more of her story here! http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2012/hall-of-heroes.cfm Our services are provided and maintained by our students.

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
