The LINGUIST List is funded by its donations from supporting publishers, institutions and its subscribers during the fund drive month each spring. Some LINGUIST List projects were funded by grants from the National Science Foundation.[citation needed] 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.[5][failed verification]
Services
The LINGUIST List hosts two mailing lists LINGUIST and LINGLITE:
- LINGUIST, a mailing list that forwards all postings to the subscriber directly or as a daily digest.[6]
- LINGLITE, a mailing list that forwards once a day a list of postings with titles and links to the subscribers.[7]
The LINGUIST List mailing lists are free and open for subscription using a web interface.[8]
Everybody can submit postings to The LINGUIST List lists without being subscribed or in any way a registered member.[9] A web interface is used to submit postings to the lists.[10]
Projects

The LINGUIST List has also received grants for
- the Catalogue of Endangered Languages project, a joint effort with the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa to build the most reliable, up-to-date source of information on the world's endangered languages[12]
- the EMELD Project, designed to build infrastructure to facilitate the preservation of endangered languages data
- the DATA project, designed to digitise data for the Dena'ina language[13]
- the LL-MAP project (defunct), designed to produce a comprehensive GIS site for language;[14]
- the MultiTree project, designed to produce a complete database and tree-viewing facility to study language relationships.[15] Charged by ISO 639 to house data on coded languages that went extinct before c. 1950.
- the AARDVARC project, designed to address the problem of not transcribed, and therefore unavailable, documentation of understudied languages by building an interdisciplinary community of linguists, anthropologists, and computer scientists to share knowledge and collaborate on the specification of a repository and suite of tools to facilitate automatic or semi-automatic transcription and analysis of audio and visual information[16]
The EMELD project
Some projects emerged from funded or internal activities at LINGUIST List:
- GeoLing, a GIS-based information service that places events, jobs, institutions, conferences, and other announcements with a geo-location that are announced on LINGUIST List on the global map.[19]
- AskALing, a discussion forum and question and answer platform for linguistically relevant questions and issues.[20]
- GORILLA, a platform for archiving of language data, recordings, word lists, corpora, and technologies, and the development and conversion of language data to corpora and resources that bridge language documentation of low-resourced and endangered languages, and Natural Language Processing (NLP).[21]
