In memory of Dr Vivien Law (1954-2002), and thanks to her generosity, a prize
has been established by the Henry Sweet Society for the best essay submitted
on any topic within the history of linguistics.
The competition is open to all currently registered students, and to scholars
who have received their PhD or equivalent qualification within the last five
years. Members of the Executive Committee of the Society may not apply.
Applications from non-members are welcome.
The prize consists of ￡100 and publication of the winning essay in the Henry
Sweet Society Bulletin. Others of the essays submitted may also be published
where appropriate. The prize will not be awarded if none of the submitted
essays is deemed to be worthy of publication. The prize-winner is also
entitled to one year's free membership of the Society and will receive a free
copy of Vivien Law's The History of Linguistics in Europe from Cambridge
University Press.
The prize will be awarded by the Executive Committee on the recommendation of
a Prize Committee drawn from its members. The committee will be looking for
an exciting and original approach to the history of linguistics, either in
the choice of topic or in the way it is treated, and for the highest
standards of research and presentation. The essay should not have been
previously published.
The closing date for submissions is 30 September. Entries may be written in
English, French, or German, and should follow the style-sheet for the Henry
Sweet Society Bulletin. They should not exceed 8000 words, including
references, footnotes, tables, appendices, etc. Four hard copies of the
essay, and one in electronic form, should be sent to the Chairman of the
Executive Committee (Professor Andrew Linn, School of English Literature,
Language, and Linguistics, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, S10 2TN) by
the closing date. The Committee's decision will be final. The winning entry
will be announced in the May edition of the Bulletin, but all entrants will
receive notification of the outcome by the end of December.
Vivien Law studied Classics and German at McGill University, Montreal, before
pursuing PhD studies at Cambridge. She was successively a Fellow at Jesus,
Sidney Sussex, and Trinity Colleges in Cambridge, and held the only
lectureship in the world dedicated to the history of linguistic thought (in
the Cambridge Department of Linguistics). In the late 1990s she was made
Reader in the History of Linguistic Thought and a Fellow of the British
Academy. Her academic interests were wide-ranging, but she was associated
above all with her work on medieval grammars.
