LSA works to support linguists at every level - from high school students of linguistics, to graduate students, career faculty, emeritus professors, linguists working in practice settings, and Indigenous community language workers. Through our Annual Fund we hope to continue to advance the discipline of linguistics, support linguistics students, build a “big tent” LSA, and bring the insights and empirical findings of our discipline to policy makers. Your donations would help make this possible. To learn more about our Annual Fund or to make your donation click the link in this post. https://lnkd.in/eithRQV6
