Jorge Hankamer elected a Fellow of the LSA

The Linguistic Society of America announced that Jorge Hankamer has been elected a Fellow of the Society. Jorge will be inducted, with other members of the 2012 class, in a ceremony which will take place during the LSA’s annual Business Meeting on Friday, January 6 at 5:30 pm, during the society’s Winter Meeting in Portland, Oregon.

A small class of Fellows (no more than 5% of the society’s membership) is elected each year in recognition of distinguished contributions to the discipline.

With Jorge’s election, the number of faculty members in the department to have been so honored rises to six (including 2 emeriti/ae). In addition to Jorge, Judith Aissen, Sandy Chung, Bill Ladusaw, Jim McCloskey, and Geoff Pullum are all LSA Fellows.
