The Society for Linguistic Anthropology (SLA) announces the John Gumperz
Annual Graduate Student Essay Prize competition.

*Deadline extended to: February 15, 2021*

Each year the Society for Linguistic Anthropology confers an award for a
distinguished graduate research paper.  The winner receives a cash prize, a
small travel grant to attend the annual American Anthropological
Association (AAA) meeting, and an invitation to submit the paper for
consideration for publication with the* Journal of Linguistic Anthropology*.
Other notable submissions will also receive a modest cash prize. In
addition, the winner along with other notable papers will be invited to
participate in an SLA-sponsored panel at the annual AAA meeting.  The* next
annual AAA meeting will be held in Baltimore, MD,  November 17-21, 2021.*

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. Students may
only win this award once. Past winners and honorable mentions may not
submit revised papers or new papers for consideration.

The paper must be an original work written in English 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.

*Submission Process*: The paper should follow the style and format
