The University of Maryland Department of Linguistics is pleased to announce the 2000/2001 University of Maryland Undergraduate Essay Prize in Linguistics, an international competition now in its third year. (Click here for last year's results.)
The prize of $1000 will be awarded for the best undergraduate student essay on a topic in linguistics, and the winning essay will be published in the 2001 University of Maryland Working Papers in 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 applicant's name must not be included on the essay, since reviewing is anonymous. Instead, include a cover sheet listing the title of the essay, applicant's name, address, telephone number, e-mail address (if available), school and program attending, year in the program, and the topic area or areas of the essay (taken from the list above).
