The Panini Award 2015 (deadline: January 15th, 2015)

At the 11th Biennial Conference in Albuquerque (August 1-3 2015), the
Association for Linguistic Typology will award its third Panini prize, for a
grammar passed as a dissertation between January 1st 2011 and December 31st
2014. The Panini 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. In order to be eligible for the prize, the author
must be (or become) a member of ALT.

Entries will be judged by a committee of distinguished linguists, including
judges who have themselves written major reference grammars as well as
typologists and other grammar-consumers. The chair for the 2015 award is Nick
Enfield.

Please submit entries as PDF files with embedded fonts. The deadline for
submission is January 15th, 2015, at paniniaward2015 at gmail.com. Any questions
about submissions should be directed to the chair, at
nick.enfield at sydney.edu.au.

The prize winner for the Panini award will receive paid travel, accommodation,
and registration at the ALT conference in Albuquerque, (Aug 1-3, 2015) as well
as a collection of reference grammars or other works donated by major
publishers. They will also be invited to present a plenary lecture setting out
the typologically most interesting aspects of the language.
