The Language and Social Interaction (LSI) Division of the National Communication Association (NCA) is accepting nominations for an Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award. Nominations should reflect the division’s focus on situated language usage and social interaction. Analyses of institutional and everyday interaction, interaction in face-to-face and mediated contexts, and interaction within and across diverse linguistic and cultural groups are welcome. Previous awards have gone to studies in discourse and conversation analysis, speech act theory, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, ethnomethodology, and the ethnography of communication. To be eligible for the award, a dissertation must have been officially completed (i.e., filed and defended) during 2023.

Nominations should be made by the dissertation advisor or a member of the LSI Division of NCA. Please email nominations with the following materials:

1. nomination letter outlining the justification for the award (may be submitted under separate cover).
2. 500-word (maximum) abstract of the dissertation.
3. PDF copy of the full dissertation.

Send all nomination materials to the Vice Chair Elect, Stephen DiDomenico (sdidomenico at wcupa.edu). Please include “NCA LSI Dissertation Award” in the subject line of your email. The new deadline for submission is Friday July 26, 2024. The award will be presented at NCA’s LSI Division Virtual Business Meeting in November 2024.
