The Third Vivien Law Prize in the History of Linguistic Ideas

In memory of Dr Vivien Law (1954-2002), and thanks to her generosity, a
prize has been established by the Henry Sweet Society for the best essay
submitted on any topic within the history of linguistics.  The prize will
be awarded for an exciting and original approach to the history of
linguistics, either in the choice of topic or in the way it is treated, and
for the highest standards of research and presentation.  The essay should
not have been previously published.

The competition is open to all currently registered students, and to
scholars who have received their PhD or equivalent qualification within the
last five years.  

The prize consists of £100 and publication of the winning essay in the
Henry Sweet Society Bulletin.  Others of the essays submitted may also be
published where appropriate.  The prize-winner is also entitled to one
year's free membership of the Society and will receive a free copy of
Vivien Law's The History of Linguistics in Europe from Cambridge University
Press.

The closing date for submissions is 30 November 2006.  Entries may be
written in English, French or German, and should not exceed 8000 words,
including references, footnotes, tables, appendices, etc.
