<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:georgia;color:rgb(52,52,52)">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.<span></span></span></p>
