	      ******RE-ANNOUNCING******

The Kenneth E. Naylor Young Scholar's Prize in South Slavic
	       and Balkan Linguistics

NOTE:  We have altered the eligibility criteria slightly (from ABD to
'advanced graduate student' status', i.e. beyond the first year of study)
and are thus extending the deadline to SEPTEMBER 15.  We look forward
to submissions from interested parties.

In memory of Kenneth E. Naylor, Balkanist and South Slavic linguist
par excellence, the Naylor Professorship in South Slavic Linguistics
in the Department of Slavic and East European Languages and
Literatures at The Ohio State University has established a prize of
$500 for the best unpublished paper by a young scholar on a topic in
Balkan or South Slavic linguistics.

We thus solicit papers written in English by young scholars --
defined for this competition as an advanced graduate student (who is
beyond his/her first year of study) or someone who is no more than
three years beyond the awarding of the Ph.D. degree at the time of
submission -- that treats some topic either in Balkan linguistics,
taking a comparative approach and treating at least two languages of
Southeastern Europe, or in any of the South Slavic languages on their
own or in relation to the other languages.

In order to be eligible, the submitted paper must be unpublished, and
not under consideration for publication at the time of submission;
however, papers that have appeared in an issue of a "Working
Papers" series are still eligible for consideration in the competition.
Those that have appeared in conference proceedings volumes of any
sort are not eligible, unless they are substantially revised and/or
expanded.  Written versions of papers that have been presented
at a conference are eligible, as are chapters of dissertations.  In all
cases, however, the Committee will look for self-contained scholarly
articles of publishable quality that treat some relevant topic (as
spelled out above) in an interesting and insightful way, following any
appropriate approach (historical, synchronic, sociolinguistic, etc.) and
any theoretical framework.

Interested scholars should submit four copies of the paper along with
an abstract (no longer than 250 words) and a cover sheet with the title
of the paper, the author's name, affiliation, mailing address, e-mail
address, phone and fax numbers, date of General Examination or
Ph.D. (as the case may be), and social security number, to:

        Naylor Prize Competition
        Dept. of Slavic and East European Languages and Literatures
        232 Cunz Hall
        The Ohio State University
        Columbus, Ohio  USA  43210.

The deadline for receipt of the papers in the Department for the first
competition is SEPTEMBER 15, 2000.  The Screening Committee,
consisting of the Naylor Professor and former speakers in the annual
Kenneth E. Naylor Memorial Lecture series, expects to make the
announcement of the winner by December 1, 2000.  The winning
paper will be published in an issue of the journal Balkanistica.  The
Committee reserves the right not to award the Prize in a given year.

Please address any inquiries to the Naylor Professor, Brian D.
Joseph, at the above address or via e-mail at joseph.1 at osu.edu.
