SLA STUDENT ESSAY CONTEST

The Society for Linguistic Anthropology invites graduate and undergraduate
students to submit a paper on linguistic anthropology.  Graduate student
winners will receive $100, an invitation to submit their papers for review
in the Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, and have their names and
abstract published in AN.  An undergraduate prize also will be awarded if
the quality and number of entries merits it.  Undergraduates will receive
$100 and will be recognized (along with the faculty member for whom the
paper was written) in AN.

Papers will be judged on originality; organization, quality, and  clarity
of writing; cogency of argument; contributions to theory with use of
empirical materials; and timeliness. Papers should be limited to 45
double-spaced pages, including bibliography, and should be written using
the style sheet of the Journal of Linguistic Anthropology.  Papers that
have been submitted for publication, but have not yet been accepted, are
eligible.  Articles already accepted or published are not eligible.
Students may only submit one paper.  Applicants need not be members of the
Society for Linguistic Anthropology to apply.  Prizes will be announced at
the SLA business meeting at the 2003 AAA annual meeting.  Sent four copies
of the manuscript to Elinor Ochs, SLA President, Department of
Anthropology, 341 Haines Hall, Box 945553, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA
90095-1553.  Be sure to include a cover letter with the submission that
includes mailing address, telephone number, email address, institutional
affiliation and student status (graduate or undergraduate student).  The
first page of each paper should specify paper title, but should not include
author's name.  Faxed and emailed submissions will NOT be accepted.
Deadline for submissions is Jan. 6, 2003.
