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, Indiana University, and the publishing community, LINGUIST List offers support to graduate students in linguistics and summer interns, who serve in return as editors of the list and help with the development and maintenance of the list server and website.
