Young Linguist Award

An annual award given to the young linguist presenting the best first-time, single-authored paper at the annual SALALS conference. "Young" is interpreted in terms of experience presenting papers rather than age. The winner receives a certificate, is posted on the SALALS website, and is admitted as a SALALS member for one year without a subscription fee.

Certificate posted to the winner; the award is posted on the SALALS website; one-year SALALS membership without subscription fee.

First-time presenters of single-authored papers at the annual conference; presenters should identify themselves at Registration. If the conference is joint with other associations, young linguists affiliated with those associations also qualify. Membership of SALALS is not required.

Identify yourself as a first-time single-authored presenter to conference organisers at registration (self-nomination). Presentations are evaluated by the session chair (and sometimes a senior SALALS member); evaluation sheets are submitted anonymously to the SALALS executive which decides the award.
