Directory         1.     Jean-Christophe Verstraete , Call for Submissions: Panini Award 2011 Message 1: Call for Submissions: Panini Award 2011 Date: 18-Dec-2010 From: Jean-Christophe Verstraete <jcvarts.kuleuven.be> Subject: Call for Submissions: Panini Award 2011 E-mail this message to a friend The Panini Award 2011 (Deadline: December 31st 2010) At the 9th Biennial Conference in Hong Kong (July 21-24 2011), the Association for Linguistic Typology will award its second Panini prize, for a grammar passed as a dissertation between January 1st 2007 and December 31st 2010. The Panini award was established to encourage and honour achievements in the field of documenting the world’s linguistic diversity through the writing of reference grammars. To be eligible, a grammar must provide a systematic, accessible, comprehensive, original, insightful and typologically well-informed account of the workings of the language being described, generously exemplified with natural data. Though the normal expectation is that it would deal with a hitherto little-described language, outstanding grammars of better-known languages or dialects thereof may also be considered if they achieve major breakthroughs in a comprehensive understanding of the language. Grammars may be written in any major language, subject to the availability of a sufficient and geographically balanced set of jury members able to read the language. In order to be eligible for the prize, the author must be a member of ALT. Entries will be judged by a committee of half-a-dozen or more distinguished linguists, including a number of judges who have themselves written major reference grammars but also typologists and other categories of grammar-readers. The chair for the 2011 award will be Keren Rice. Entries are normally submitted as a PDF file with embedded fonts. The deadline for submission is December 31st, 2010. Any questions about submissions should be directed to the chair. Prize winners for the Panini award will receive a paid fare to and accommodation and registration at the ALT conference in Hong Kong, as well as a collection of reference grammars and other works donated by major publishers in the area. They will also present a plenary lecture setting out the typologically most interesting aspects of the language.
