[Adam Schembri]

For those of us on the list with an interest in sociolinguistics, you may not be aware that Bill Labov has recently won a prestigious Franklin Institute Award:

Labov's work has, of course, inspired a range of projects on sign languages, particularly ASL, but also Auslan, NZSL, BSL and LIS.
