Date: 27-Feb-2012 From: Lamont Antieau <lamontantieau.org> Subject: Linguistic Atlas of the Middle Rockies E-mail this message to a friend The Linguistic Atlas of the Middle Rockies is now available as a freely downloadable collection of machine-readable texts at: www.illocutioninc.com. The collection comprises 70 Atlas interviews conducted in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming from 1988 to 2004, with interviews covering aspects of family and community history, local flora and fauna, ranching and farming, household items, etc. Transcribed in standard orthography, the entire collection comprises nearly 1.7 million words that can be used to analyze middle Rocky Mountain English in terms of its lexical, morphological, syntactic and discourse properties.

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.
