*The Society for Linguistic Anthropology (SLA) announces the 2017 SLA
Graduate Student Paper competition.*  *Deadline: Friday March 17, 2017*.



Every year the Society for Linguistic Anthropology confers an award for a
distinguished graduate research paper.  Awardees receive a cash prize,
travel funds to attend the annual American Anthropological Association
(AAA) meeting, and an invitation to submit their paper for publication
consideration
with our signature journal, *Journal of Linguistic Anthropology*.  In
addition, the winner and finalists are invited to participate in an
SLA-sponsored panel at the annual AAA meeting, with the competition judges
serving as discussants.  This year the annual AAA meetings will be held in
Washington DC from November 29 to December 3.  Further details on award
eligibility, criteria, and submission process are below

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.  Papers will be judged on the basis of research contributions to
the field of linguistic anthropology, clarity, organization, and engagement
with existing scholarship.  At the time of submission for this competition,
the paper must not have been published, submitted for publication, or under
review for publication.
