2. SOCIETY FOR TEXT AND DISCOURSE
The Society for Text & Discourse is an international society of
researchers who investigate all aspects of discourse processing and
text analysis. The purpose of the Society is to consolidate research
in discourse processing and to enhance communication among researchers
in different disciplines. Therefore, we invite scholars from various
disciplines (e.g., psychology, linguistics, artificial intelligence,
education, sociology, anthropology, communications, and philosophy) to
attend and participate in the Thirteenth Annual Meeting of the Society
for Text and Discourse.
Membership includes various discounts as well as the journal Discourse
Processes published by Lawrence Erlbaum Associates. This official
journal of the Society for Text and Discourse provides a forum for the
cross-fertilization of ideas from diverse disciplines that share a
common interest in discourse, be it prose comprehension and recall,
dialogue analysis, text grammar construction, computer simulation of
natural language, cross-cultural comparisons of communicative
competence, or related topics.

B. Submitting Proposals for the OUTSTANDING STUDENT PAPER or the JASON
ALBRECHT OUTSTANDING YOUNG SCIENTIST AWARDS.
There are two awards offered to outstanding student papers.
The Outstanding Student Paper Award is presented annually to the best
spoken paper submitted and presented by a graduate student.
Eligibility: Proposals for the Outstanding Student paper award must
reflect work that is predominantly that of the student, who should
also be appropriately the first author. In the case of multi-author
papers, authors other than the student nominee must indicate that the
work is primarily that of the student.
The Jason Albrecht Outstanding Young Scientist Award is presented
annually to the best spoken paper based on a doctoral
dissertation. This award honors the memory of Jason Albrecht, a
promising young text and discourse researcher who passed away in 1996.
Eligibility: Proposals for the Albrecht award must reflect work that
is based on the nominee's dissertation. In the case of multi-author
papers, the other authors must indicate that the work is based on the
nominee's doctoral dissertation.
Recipients of each award receive a commemorative certificate and a
$150 award check Proposals for these two awards are submitted twice:
Once to the regular program review process and separately to the
Awards Review Committee. Deadline for submission is X for both. The
proposals undergo two reviews - one by the regular program committee,
with author identification; and a second by the Awards Review
Committee without author identification. Only proposals that are
accepted for inclusion on the program by the regular review committee
are eligible for Awards.
The format for submission to the Awards Review Committee is the same as
that for submission to the regular program review with two exception:
1. Under Names and Affiliations: Nominees' names should be in all caps
or underlined; they should be the first authors of the submitted
proposals. Other authors should check the appropriate statement:
____ I certify that the research is primarily the work of the student
first author. (Outstanding Student Paper Award)
____ I certify that the research is based on the doctoral dissertation
of the first author. (Albrecht award)
2. Sending the submissions over E-mail: The subject heading for the
e-mail containing an entry for the Outstanding Student Paper Award
should contain the acronym OSPA followed by the last name of the
student submitting the proposal (e.g., OSPA, Sundermeier). The subject
heading for an entry for the Jason Albrecht Outstanding Young
Scientist Award should contain the acronym JAOYSA followed by the last
name of the student submitting the proposal (e.g., JAOYSA,
Linderholm).
Evaluation of entries for these two awards will be without author
identification. Information in Items A and D will be examined after
review and ratings of the proposals.
Incomplete submissions will not be reviewed. If for some reason you
cannot send your submission by e-mail, please contact Jose A. Leon
(std-madrid2003 at uam.es)
