Grad Matt Tucker’s recent successful submission to the LSA annual meeting, An ergative analysis of Acehnese tripartite voice, was honored as the third runner-up of the 2011 LSA Annual Meeting Student Abstract Award. The award aims to highlight student abstracts of high quality which were accepted for presentation at the LSA meeting this January in Portland, Oregon. Matt will present his paper as well as be honored at the awards ceremony on January 7th during the conference.

In connection with their Humanities Undergraduate Research Awards (HUGRAs), Sam Corbin and Devin Tankersley presented their research at the annual HUGRA Symposium last spring. Caroline Andrews, who also received a HUGRA, was not able to present at the Symposium, because she was presenting at the Experimental Pragmatics Conference in Barcelona, Spain!

Congratulations are also due to our five student presenters at last spring’s Linguistics Undergraduate Research Conference (LURC), who gave outstanding presentations: Saralynn Emery, Joseph King, Matilda Morrison, Lauren Negrete, and Devin Tankersley. During the conference, Matilda Morrison was seen to sneak out – in order to attend the Deans’/Chancellor’s Award ceremony, where she was honored for her Chancellor’s Award.
