About Us

• The LINGUIST List is operated at Indiana University, Department of Linguistics.


• The aim of the list is to provide a forum where academic linguists can discuss linguistic issues and exchange linguistic information.


• With the aid of contributions from subscribers and the publishing community, The LINGUIST List now offers support to 5 graduate students in the Indiana University linguistics department, who serve in return as editors of the list.


• More about the LINGUIST List can be found on our blog, "Get Involved" page, Facebook, Twitter, Google+ page, or via Amazon Echo (Alexa) using voice AI and our Flash Briefing.


• In addition to the LINGUIST mailing list, we run a number of technology and infrastructure projects, partially funded by grants from the National Science Foundation.
