E-mail this message to a friend Dear Fellow Linguists,
We are on our way to hitting the $35,000 mark soon! Will you help us reach that number today by donating? We NEED to reach our $79,000 goal soon.
http://funddrive.linguistlist.org/donate/ As a reminder, we have several donation benefits you can enjoy no matter how much you donate. Along with supporting LINGUIST, you can use your donation to help your university, business, subfield, country, or region in our
challenges!
In our Subfield Challenge, the five ten rank as follows:
1. Computational Linguistics ($6,860)
2. Syntax ($4,021)
3. Sociolinguistics ($3,178)
4. Phonology ($2,539)
5. Historical Linguistics ($1,805)
Syntax and phonology were the previous frontrunners in the first few weeks of Fund Drive, but computational linguistics and sociolinguistics have clearly made major efforts! Will the other subfields fight back for the lead in Week
6? Congratulations to syntax for hitting the $4,000 mark today!
