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><p style="font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif;font-size:11pt;line-height:15pt;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0in"><span style="font-family:'arial' , sans-serif;font-size:12pt"> </span></p><p style="font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif;font-size:11pt;line-height:15pt;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0in"><span style="font-family:'arial' , sans-serif;font-size:12pt">Entries will be judged by a committee of half a dozen or more distinguished linguists,</span></p><p style="font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif;font-size:11pt;line-height:15pt;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0in"><span style="font-family:'arial' , sans-serif;font-size:12pt">including a number of judges who have themselves written major reference grammars but also typologists and other categories of grammar users.

Grammars which have been submitted for the Panini Award (for a 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><p style="font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif;font-size:11pt;line-height:15pt;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0in"><span style="font-family:'arial' , sans-serif;font-size:12pt"> </span></p><p style="font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif;font-size:11pt;line-height:15pt;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0in"><strong><span style="font-family:'arial' , sans-serif;font-size:12pt">Submission instructions</span></strong></p><p style="font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif;font-size:11pt;line-height:15pt;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0in"><span style="font-family:'arial' , sans-serif;font-size:12pt">Entries are normally submitted as a PDF file with embedded fonts to Juha Janhunen with a copy to Nikolaus Himmelmann and Ljuba Veselinova.

If hard copies are submitted, the exact number of copies to be submitted will vary according to the size of the committee, but a minimum of six copies is to be expected. Submitted hard copies remain the property of the members of the jury. </span></p><p style="font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif;font-size:11pt;line-height:15pt;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0in"><span style="font-family:'arial' , sans-serif;font-size:12pt"> </span></p><p style="font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif;font-size:11pt;line-height:15pt;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0in"><span style="font-family:'arial' , sans-serif;font-size:12pt">Addresses to use</span></p><p style="font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif;font-size:11pt;line-height:15pt;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0in"><span lang="SV" style="font-family:'arial' , sans-serif;font-size:12pt">Juha Janhunen </span><span style="font-family:'arial' , sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><a href="mailto:asiemajeure@yahoo.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color:rgb( 5 , 99 , 193 )"><span lang="SV">asiemajeure</span></a></span><a href="mailto:asiemajeure@yahoo.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color:rgb( 5 , 99 , 193 );font-family:'arial' , sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><span lang="SV">@yahoo.com</span></a></p><p style="font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif;font-size:11pt;line-height:15pt;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0in"> </p><p style="font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif;font-size:11pt;line-height:15pt;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0in"><span lang="SV" style="font-family:'arial' , sans-serif;font-size:12pt">Nikolaus Himmelmann <a href="mailto:n.himmelmann@uni-koeln.de" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color:rgb( 5 , 99 , 193 )">n.himmelmann@uni-koeln.de</a></span></p><p style="font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif;font-size:11pt;line-height:15pt;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0in"><span lang="SV" style="font-family:'arial' , sans-serif;font-size:12pt">Ljuba Veselinova <a href="mailto:ljuba@ling.su.se" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color:rgb( 5 , 99 , 193 )">ljuba@ling.su.se</a> </span></p><p style="font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif;font-size:11pt;line-height:15pt;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0in"><span lang="SV" style="font-family:'arial' , sans-serif;font-size:12pt"> </span></p><p style="font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif;font-size:11pt;line-height:15pt;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0in"><span style="font-family:'arial' , sans-serif;font-size:12pt">Deadline: <strong>September 30, 2021</strong></span></p><p style="font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif;font-size:11pt;line-height:15pt;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0in"><span style="font-family:'arial' , sans-serif;font-size:12pt"> </span></p><p style="font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif;font-size:11pt;line-height:15pt;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0in"><span style="font-family:'arial' , sans-serif;font-size:12pt">Past award winners are presented here: <a href="https://linguistic-typology.org/georg-von-der-gabelentz-award/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color:rgb( 5 , 99 , 193 )">https://linguistic-typology.org/georg-von-der-gabelentz-award/</a> </span></p><p style="font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif;font-size:11pt;line-height:15pt;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0in"><span style="font-family:'arial' , sans-serif;font-size:12pt"> </span></p><p style="font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif;font-size:11pt;line-height:15pt;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0in"><strong><span style="font-family:'arial' , sans-serif;font-size:12pt">Chair of the</span></strong><span style="font-family:'arial' , sans-serif;font-size:12pt"> <strong>2021 Georg von der Gabelenz Award</strong>:</span></p><p style="font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif;font-size:11pt;line-height:15pt;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0in"><span style="font-family:'arial' , sans-serif;font-size:12pt">Juha Janhunen</span></p><p style="font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif;font-size:11pt;line-height:15pt;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0in"><span style="font-family:'arial' , sans-serif;font-size:12pt">University of Helsinki, Finland</span></p><p style="font-family:'calibri' , sans-serif;font-size:11pt;line-height:200%;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0in"><u><span style="color:#1155cc;font-family:'arial' , sans-serif;font-size:12pt;line-height:200%"><a href="mailto:asiemajeure@yahoo.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">asiemajeure@yahoo.com</a></span></u></p></div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>Lingtyp mailing list</span><br><span>Lingtyp@listserv.linguistlist.org</span><br><span>http://listserv.linguistlist.org/mailman/listinfo/lingtyp</span><br></div></body></html>
