Subject: 2016 Peter Lang Young Scholars Competition

Peter Lang Oxford is delighted to announce the 2016 Peter Lang Young Scholars
Competition in Linguistics.

Proposals are invited from early career scholars in Linguistics for academic
monographs to be evaluated by a distinguished editorial board. The winner of
the competition will receive a contract to publish the volume with Peter Lang.

Proposals for the Linguistics competition should be submitted to Laurel Plapp
(L.PLAPP at peterlang.com) by 31 July 2016 and include an abstract (including
chapter synopses), CV and a sample chapter (5,000 to 10,000 words in length)
in separate Microsoft Word documents. Proposals are welcome from scholars
working on any aspect of Linguistics and must be written in English. Proposals
under review elsewhere should not be submitted.

The winner will be offered a contract for a non-subsidized paperback book to
be published within six months of receipt of the complete and approved
manuscript. Planned manuscripts should be between 60,000 and 120,000 words in
length. Authors will be expected to copy-edit the manuscript in accordance
with the style guidelines provided. 

Applicants should be early career scholars with connections to the UK,
Ireland, Australia or New Zealand:

- They should have been awarded a PhD between 2011 and 2016 or expect to be
awarded a PhD in 2017. 
- They should be resident in the UK, Ireland, Australia or New Zealand, or
hold citizenship or resident status in one of these countries, or have
completed some or all of their postgraduate education at a university in one
of these countries.

Decisions will be made by 1 December 2016 and the winner will be notified
shortly thereafter.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
