SIL International Linguistics Advisors
International Linguistics Advisors advise SIL on a variety of linguistic matters, of practical and theoretical interest, including SIL training programs, publishing, funding for research, and other relevant issues. International Linguistics Advisors are not members of SIL, but have their own primary affiliations (as indicated below) and graciously volunteer their expertise.
Among the specific ways International Linguistics Advisors have helped SIL are: giving recommendations regarding specific funding proposals, networking, consulting or lecturing at linguistic workshops, guest lecturing at SIL training programs, refereeing materials for publication, collaborating with SIL members on research and writing projects, providing information for the Ethnologue and contributing to the French/English Linguistic Glossary.
SIL is very grateful to these individuals for their scholarly collaboration and advice.
