<p class="MsoNormal">Dear colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">we are grateful for all the donations
that we got so far from our supporters from all over the
planet. We are proud of having supporters on all continents.
Every donation counts and shows us that there are people out
there who appreciate the effort that our student editors,
volunteers, interns and other supporters put into The
LINGUIST List service. We do our best to provide the
LINGUIST information and services in the best possible way,
to all linguists worldwide. We will update you soon in a
regular posting with all the news, new developments, sites,
services.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As I explained yesterday, we have to get
through the fund-drive. We still need your support to reach
our budget goal. You might consider going straight to our
donations page:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">but you might also want to have a look at
the nice traveLING website that the students developed, and
for example also have a look, where your linguistic subfield
is standing in the Fund-Drive Subfield Challenge, or see
which Grad-School is leading the race, which country, or
what businesses support The LINGUIST List with matching
donations of their employees:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Richard Hudson, an Advisory Board member
of The LINGUIST List, has this message that I would like to
forward to you:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">At one time,
not that long ago, linguistics was a national activity,
which only some countries did, and did on their own, in
their own way. Nowadays, globalisation has happened - almost
every country does linguistics in some way, and more and
more activity takes place on the world stage rather than a
local national one. We have international conferences,
international journals, international research projects and
international theories and ideas. More and more students are
moving around the globe to learn linguistics, and more
departments boast an international collection of staff
members. Globalisation has its causes, which we all
understand to at least some extent, but it also has
consequences, and one consequence is that we desperately
need reliable global infrastructure to support the
globalisation - to make sure that it benefits everyone, and
not just the wealthy few; that it works efficiently, so that
worthy aims can be achieved; and above all, that information
flows freely. Which means, of course, that we need a global
postbox and noticeboard remarkably like the Linguist List,
so if LL didn't exist, someone would have to create it. And
if we can have all sorts of useful facilities thrown in for
good measure, we should rejoice. But global infrastructure
needs to be reliable and permanent - think of the UN or your
favourite global charity. It's no good expecting a handful
of enthusiastic volunteers to provide it. Ultimately,
infrastructure costs money. And this particular bit of
infrastructure actually comes very, very cheap - at UK
prices, it's the cost of about two cups of coffee per
subscriber per year. I'm convinced that LL is one of the
most important institutions in our academic world, and I
believe that by supporting it I'm helping to give the next
generation of linguists the global infrastructure they need.
I'm also convinced that if we don't support it, we shall
lose it and the next generation will have to create it from
scratch.<o:p></o:p></p>
