Vivien Law Prize winners 2022
It is with great pleasure that we announce that this year, given the very strong field, there have been two winners of the 2022 Vivien Law Prize for the best essay submitted on any topic within the history of linguistics by a student or scholar within 5 years of their PhD.
Maxime Maleux (KU Leuven) for their essay “The Curious Case(s) of the Hebrew Article: On a conflated grammatical category and how it emerges from sixteenth-century student notes”.
Liesl Yamaguchi (Boston College) for their essay “The Colors of the Universal Alphabet: Archaeology of an Analogy”.
They each receive a prize of £100, a copy of Vivien Law’s The History of Linguistics in Europe and a year’s membership of the Society.
Next year’s entries close on September 30th 2023.
Congratulations, Maxime and Liesl!
