Gabelentz Award was established to encourage and honour achievements in the
field of documenting the world’s linguistic diversity through the writing of
reference grammars. To be eligible, a grammar must provide a systematic,
accessible, comprehensive, original, insightful and typologically well-informed
account of the workings of the language being described, generously exemplified
with natural data. Though the normal expectation is that it would deal with a
hitherto little-described language, outstanding grammars of better-known
languages or dialects thereof may also be considered if they achieve major
breakthroughs in a comprehensive understanding of the language. Grammars may be
written in any major language, subject to the availability of a sufficient and
geographically balanced set of jury members able to read the language.</span></p>

grammar published between <b>January 1,

grammar dissertation) can be submitted again for the Gabelentz Award provided
that they have been substantially revised and published by an academic
publisher. Grammars which won the Panini Award cannot be submitted at a later
date for the Gabelentz Award. All submissions for the Gabelentz Award thus need
to have been published by an academic publisher.</span></p>
