The LINGUIST List is a major online resource for the academic field of
linguistics. It was founded by
Anthony Aristar in early 1990 at the
University of Western Australia, and is used as a reference by the
National Science Foundation in the United States. Its main and oldest feature is the premoderated
electronic mailing list, now with thousands of subscribers all over the world, where queries and their summarized results, discussions, journal table of contents, dissertation abstracts, calls for papers, book and conference announcements, software notices and other useful pieces of linguistic information are posted.
