Reminder:

Graduate Student Paper Prize Competition:  March 15 deadline

Due to the success of last year¹s Graduate Student Paper Prize roundtable at
the AAA, we will be including another roundtable in the program this year
(note, the undergraduate student paper prize competition is not affected by
this and will be announced as usual later in the spring).  The SLA is
calling for graduate students to submit papers to the section by March 15th;
the winner and finalists will then be invited to participate in an
SLA-sponsored workshop at the 2012 AAA meetings in San Francisco, along with
two senior linguistic anthropologists (to be announced), to conduct a
discussion based on the papers¹ research results.  In order to be eligible
for the award, the applicant must have been a graduate student in a
degree-granting program when the paper was written; must be the sole author
of the paper; and must submit the paper no more than two years after it was
written.  The paper must be an original work based on original research
conducted by the author.  It will be evaluated on the basis of clarity,
significance to the field, and substantive contribution.  The paper should
be suitable for submission to the Journal of Linguistic Anthropology and
must not exceed 25 double-spaced pages, not including bibliography.  At the
time of submission for this competition, the paper must not have been
published or submitted for publication.

 The paper must be submitted electronically in either .pdf or .doc format by
the March 15 deadline to Jillian Cavanaugh, SLA Member at Large (
jcavanaugh at brooklyn.cuny.edu).  The cover sheet should include the title of
the paper; the author¹s name; the author¹s email address; the author¹s
college or university affiliation; and the name of the faculty member who
served as the student¹s advisor with respect to the writing of the
paper.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
