HONIG FUND RESEARCH GRANTS CALL

The Linguistics Department hereby issues a call for applications for graduate research initiative grants, to be underwritten by the Tanya Honig Graduate Development Fund. Graduate student initiated research collectives have been a crucial component of the Department’s intellectual life since the inception of the graduate program. At their heart, such initiatives are reading groups, loci for researchers with allied interests to engage in sustained conversation, both with the literature and with one another. Initiatives such as the Morphology Reading Group and Crosslinguistic Investigations in Syntax and Prosody have gone one step further, enriching the department with a host of workshops and visiting speakers and often obtaining external funding. It is in the spirit of such ventures beyond the typical confines of a reading group that this Call is issued. The department anticipates awarding one grant for the 2015-2016 academic year. Linguistics graduate students should consult the official CALL for further details. That will appear in next week’s WHASC.
