About The LINGUIST List
The LINGUIST List is operated at the Linguistic Research Infrastructure at the University of Zurich.
The aim of the list is to provide a forum where academic linguists can exchange linguistic information, including information about jobs, publications and conferences.
LINGUIST List hosts two mailing lists LINGUIST and LINGLITE:
- LINGUIST, a mailing list that forwards all posts to the subscriber directly or as a daily digest.
- LINGLITE, a mailing list that forwards once a day a list of postings with titles and links to the subscriber.
LINGUIST List is owned by the eLinguistics Foundation, a U.S. 501(c)(3) not for profit organization.
With the aid of contributions from our subscribers, host institution, and supporting publishers, LINGUIST List employs editors of the list and developers who maintain the list server and website.
