E-mail this message to a friend Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers, Supporters, and Friends,
As of Friday evening at 7:45 pm (EST), Fund Drive has made $ 36,970.63. Please help us reach the $40,000 mark tonight. LINGUIST List needs to earn $79,000 this year from Fund Drive, and it's almost over...
http://funddrive.linguistlist.org/donate/ If you haven’t already heard, we now also have an option for you to become a recurring donor. Please visit
http://linguistlist.org/issues/26/26-2068.html for more information!
Check out the top five subfields in our challenge:
1. Computational Linguistics ($7,590)
2. Syntax ($4,8111)
3. Sociolinguistics ($3,873)
4. Phonology ($3,054)
5. Semantics ($2,295)
Syntax and phonology were once the strong leaders! Will they allow computational linguistics to win with ease, or will they fight back?
