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.</span></p>

2015 prize. The SLA invites books with conceptual and theoretical focus, as
well as ethnographic and descriptive works. Single-or multi-author books – <i>but
not edited collections</i> – are eligible. Books must have been published
between June 2012 and December 31, 2014 to be eligible for the 2015 award. Any
