[Linganth] Sapir Prize

[SLA Online]

*Edward Sapir Book Prize 2019*



Submission Deadline: *May 15, 2019*



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.



Submissions are now open for the 2019 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 January 2016 and December
31, 2018 to be eligible for the 2019 award. Any given book is eligible in
only one biennial round of competition.



Three copies of books submitted for consideration should be sent to the
address below by May 15, 2019. (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 2019
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 2019.



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