[Linganth] Announcement: Edward Sapir Book Prize 2017

[SLA Online]

*Edward Sapir Book Prize 2017*



Submission Deadline: *May 15, 2017*



The Edward Sapir Book Prize was established in 2001 and is awarded to a
book that makes the most significant contribution to our understanding of
language in society, or the ways in which language mediates historical or
contemporary sociocultural processes. Beginning in 2012, the Sapir Prize
has been awarded annually.



Submissions are now open for the 2017 prize. The SLA invites books with
conceptual and theoretical focus, as well as ethnographic and descriptive
works. Single-or multi-author books – *but not edited collections* – are
eligible. Books must have been published between June 2014 and December 31,
2016 to be eligible for the 2017 award. Any given book is eligible only in
only one round of competition.



Three copies of books submitted for consideration should be sent to the
address below by May 15, 2017. (Publishers will often send them at the
author’s request.) A committee appointed by the president of the SLA will
evaluate all submissions. The winner will be determined by November 2017
and the author will be notified in advance of the AAA annual meeting and
assume responsibility for notifying the publisher.



The Sapir Prize will be formally awarded at the SLA Business Meeting during
the AAA Annual Meeting in 2017.



Three copies of books submitted for consideration should be sent to:



*Bonnie Urciuoli*
