The 2007 Greenberg Award

[Van der Auwera Johan]

The review panel's decision on the Greenberg Award is now official. The
award goes to Alexandre Arkhipov, Moscow State University, for his thesis
"Tipologia  komitativnykh konstruktsii" ("Typology of comitative
constructions") Congratulations, also in the name of the review committee,
for an excellent thesis, which was judged exemplary in its depth and breadth
of coverage.
The following three theses were also shortlisted for the award and were also
judged excellent by members of the review committee. (The order is
alphabetical and does not imply a ranking):
Valentin Gousev, Moscow State University, "Tipologia spetsializirovannykh
glagolnykh form imperativa" ("Typology of dedicated verbal forms of the
imperative")
Olesya Khanina, Moscow State University, "Iazykovoe oformlenie situatsii
zhelania (opyt tipologicheskogo issledovania)"  (Linguistic encoding of
'wanting': a typological approach')
René Schiering, University of Konstanz, "Cliticization and the Evolution of
Morphology: a Cross-linguistic Study on Phonology in Grammaticalization" 

This round saw a particularly high number of submissions (10 in total) and
submissions were generally of a very high quality, which is very good news
for typology, but which also made the review process a rather lengthy and,
admittedly, difficult exercise. The chair of the committee, Eva
Schultze-Berndt, wishes to thank all reviewers who so generally gave their
time and expertise: Juliette Blevins, Joan Bybee, Denis Creissels, Martin
Haspelmath, Bernhard Hurch, Leonid Kulikov, Tania Kuteva, Bill McGregor,
Andrej Malchukov, Elena Maslova, Maria Polinsky, Eva Schultze-Berndt, Elena
Skribnik, and Sergei Tatevosov.
