Richard M. Hogg Prize 2012 

The International Society for the Linguistics of English (ISLE) offers an 
annual Richard M. Hogg Prize for a paper on any research-related 
topic in English language or English linguistics. The closing date for 
2012 submissions is 31 March 2012. 

Richard M. Hogg
Richard Hogg was Smith Professor of English Language and Medieval 
Literature at the University of Manchester from 1980 until his death in 
2007. He was the General Editor of The Cambridge History of the 
English Language (6 vols, 1992-2001), one of the founding editors of 
the journal English Language and Linguistics, and well known for his 
work on Old English, on phonology, and on English dialects. A list of 
Professor Hogg's publications is available on the ISLE website 
[http://www.isle-linguistics.org/prize/hogg_publications.asp]. His 
Grammar of Old English, 2, Morphology, has been completed by 
Robert Fulk and was published in January 2011. 

Eligibility
The Prize will be awarded in open competition. The competition is 
open to any individual who is both: 
1. an early-career scholar, defined as a registered student not yet in 
possession of a doctoral degree, or a post-doctoral scholar within two 
years of the award of the doctorate at the time of submission; and 
2. a member of the Society (membership can be applied for at the time 
of submission). 
It is expected that most candidates will be students on a doctoral 
degree programme (PhD) or recent graduates of one, but 
undergraduates and master's students are not precluded from 
submitting a paper. Joint or multiple authorship is acceptable so long 
as all authors meet the two conditions above. Authors should submit a 
letter from their supervisor, or from a person of similar standing, 
attesting to their status and that the submission is their own work. 

The Paper
Candidates may write on any research-related topic in English 
language or English linguistics. In awarding the prize the committee will 
take into consideration the originality of the submitted paper and the 
theoretical and/or empirical contribution it makes to the discipline. 
The paper should not have been published before (except possibly in a 
departmental working paper or the like), nor should it have been 
submitted for publication elsewhere. It should not exceed - but need 
not be as long as - 10,000 words in length including tables, figures, 
notes, appendices, references, etc. It is recommended that authors 
follow the style sheet available (as a pdf file) from the ISLE website, 
which incorporates the Unified Style Sheet for linguistics journals; a 
suitable EndNote style for users of the EndNote bibliography program 
is also available for downloading. 

Submission Dates and Address 
The closing date for submissions is 31 March 2012. Submissions 
should be written in English and should be accompanied by the letter 
mentioned under 'Eligibility' above. Submissions should be sent as a 
file attachment in an email to the Secretary of ISLE: 
Stefan Dollinger, University of British Columbia at Vancouver, 
secretary at isle-linguistics.org

Prize 
The winner will receive a cash prize of £500 and their essay will be 
published on the ISLE website. Additionally, the winner will be 
encouraged to submit the prize-winning paper - revised where 
appropriate in line with judges' or referees' comments - for competitive 
review for publication in a journal closely associated with the aims of 
the Society. If no submission is judged suitable, the prize will not be 
awarded. The prize will be awarded by ISLE on the recommendation of 
a prize committee formed from senior members of the Society, with a 
member of the Executive Committee in the chair. The winner will be 
announced on the Society's website by 1 September 2012. The prize 
committee's decision is final.

Terttu Nevalainen
Chair of the prize committee.
