style='font-size:12.0pt'>Annick is (as ever) right. Brian should receive
some recognition that goes beyond our heartfelt thanks. He should receive
an official award, prize, something, that will have lasting value and that will
indicate to the world that he has made a great contribution to our field.
I think APA has a variety of similar awards that he could be a candidate for ,
but probably most of the members of info-childes are not APA
members. <br>
Here's one possibility:<br>
<br>
How about if we encourage IASCL to establish an award for outstanding
contributions to the field of language acquisition. We name it the Brian
MacWhinney Award and Brian is the first recipient and gets the prize (medal,
plaque, cheque, box of chocolates, whatever) at the <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Montreal</st1:place></st1:City> meeting. The IASCL will be asked
to have a committee that thereafter will receive and evaluate nominations, and
every 3 years thereafter some other deserving soul will receive the IASCL Brian
MacWhinney Award for Outstanding Contributions to the Field of Language
Acquisition.<br>
<br>
Something like that. Don't all volunteer at once.
Since it is discussion and not planning I'm not trying to hide anything from
Brian.<br>
