Brian MacWhinney recipient of inaugural Roger Brown Award

[Ludovica Serratrice]

Dear colleagues,

I am delighted to inform you that Prof. Brian MacWhinney was the
recipient of the inaugural Roger Brown Award. The triennial award,
sponsored by the International Association for the Study of Child
Language (http://iascl.talkbank.org), is in recognition of theoretical
and methodological contributions to the field of child language.

Prof. MacWhinney’s major theoretical input through the development of
the Competition Model with Elizabeth Bates, and his field-defining
methodological contribution with the establishment of CHILDES with
Catherine Snow are only two of his many extraordinary achievements in
our field. Prof. MacWhinney was awarded the prize during the recent
meeting of the Association held at UQAM in Montreal in July.

Nominations for the next Roger Brown Award will be solicited from
IASCL members in 2013 ahead of the next meeting of the Association at
the University of Amsterdam in July 2014.

Ludovica Serratrice
IASCL Secretary
