HISTORY The LINGUIST List is one of the oldest academic organizations on the web. Since 1991 the resource has been run by Anthony Aristar and Helen Aristar-Dry. In 1991 it moved from Australia to in Michigan was established as the second editing site in 1998. The LINGUIST List is funded by grants from the National Science Foundation as well as by donations from supporting publishers, institutions and its subscribers during the Fund Drive month each spring. In recent years it has become a site for research into linguistic infrastructure on the web, and has received numerous grants from the National Science Foundation to do this work. PROJECTS The LINGUIST List has been one of the main resources for the creation of the new ISO 639-3 language identification standard (aiming to classify all known languages with an alpha-3 Language Code ). While the Ethnologue was used as the resource for Natural Language s currently in use, Linguist List has provided the information on historic varieties, ancient languages, International Auxiliary Languages and Constructed Language s. The LINGUIST List has also received grants for the EMELD Project, designed to build infrastructure to facilitate the preservation of endangered languages data, the DATA project, designed to digitize data for the Dena'ina Language , the LL-MAP project, designed to produce a comprehensive GIS site for language, and the MultiTree project, designed to produce a complete database and tree-viewing facility to study language relationships. The EMELD project was the instigator of the GOLD Ontology , the furthest advanced of the current attempts to build an ontology for the Morphosyntax of linguistic data. It has also produced a Phonetics ontology, based upon Peter Ladefoged 's and Ian Maddieson 's ''The Sounds of the World's Languages''. OFFICIAL WEBSITE EXTERNAL LINKS
