The University of Maryland Department of Linguistics is pleased to
announce the 1998 University of Maryland Undergraduate Essay Prize in

The prize of $1000 will be awarded for the best undergraduate student

Linguistics.
Submissions may be in the areas of computational linguistics, formal
semantics, language acquisition, language change, lexical semantics,
neurolinguistics, phonology, psycholinguistics, and formal syntax.
The deadline for submissions is November 3, 1998.
Essay competition rules are as follows:
Eligibility.
Applicants must at the time of submission be enrolled at least half
time in an undergraduate program of study leading to a bachelor's
degree or equivalent, and must not already possess any degree in
linguistics. Essays should have been written within the previous or

the applicant. Previously published essays will not be considered
for the award. Current and former students of the University of
Maryland, College Park are ineligible.
Deadline.
Applicants must submit three (3) copies of the essay to the

Essays must be submitted in English, typed or word-processed in no
smaller than 10-point font, single-sided, double-spaced, and on white
paper, with at least 1-inch margins on all sides. Applicants should
