THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND UNDERGRADUATE ESSAY PRIZE IN LINGUISTICS
-------------------------------------------------------------------

The University of Maryland Department of Linguistics is pleased to
announce the 1998 University of Maryland Undergraduate Essay Prize in
Linguistics, an international competition.

The prize of $1000 will be awarded for the best undergraduate student
essay on a topic in linguistics, and the winning essay will be
published in the 1999 University of Maryland Working Papers in
Linguistics.

Submissions may be in the areas of computational linguistics, formal
semantics, language acquisition, language change, lexical semantics,
neurolinguistics, phonology, psycholinguistics, and formal syntax.

The deadline for submissions is November 3, 1998.

Essay competition rules are as follows:

  Eligibility.

    Applicants must at the time of submission be enrolled at least half
    time in an undergraduate program of study leading to a bachelor's
    degree or equivalent, and must not already possess any degree in
    linguistics.  Essays should have been written within the previous or
    current academic year, and must represent the original work of
    the applicant.  Previously published essays will not be considered
    for the award.  Current and former students of the University of
    Maryland, College Park are ineligible.

  Deadline.

    Applicants must submit three (3) copies of the essay to the
    address listed below, to be RECEIVED no later than
    November 3, 1998.  Late submissions will be returned unopened.

  Length and format.

    Essays must be submitted in English, typed or word-processed in no
    smaller than 10-point font, single-sided, double-spaced, and on white
    paper, with at least 1-inch margins on all sides.  Applicants should
    use single-spaced endnotes rather than footnotes, and follow style
    guidelines of either the Modern Language Association (MLA) or the
    American Psychological Association (APA).  Essays must be no longer
    than twenty pages, excluding bibliography, including at most two
    pages of endnotes.  Essays not conforming to these instructions
    will not be considered.

    The applicant's name must not be included on the essay. Instead,
    include a cover sheet listing the title of the essay, applicant's
    name, address, telephone number, e-mail address (if available), school
    and program attending, year in the program, and the topic area or
    areas of the essay (taken from the list above).

Judging.

    All essays will be judged anonymously by the Faculty
    in Linguistics at the University of Maryland, College Park.

Award.
    The Essay Prize of $1000 will be awarded in January, 1999, and
    the winning essay included in the 1999 Maryland Working Papers in
    Linguistics.
