| Young Scholar Award (YSA) |
The Young Scholar Award (YSA) competition is an innovative attempt by the IACL to promote, recognize, and encourage scholarship by young scholars. A "young scholar" is someone who is 35 years of age or below and whose current rank is below that of associate professor in the Chinese and American university systems and below that of senior lecturer in the British system. Only members of IACL are eligible to participate in the competition; non-members must be prepared to join IACL at the time of participation. The YSA competition is held once a year in conjunction with the IACL annual conference. A call for papers is issued by the IACL conference organizer, normally with a deadline earlier than the usual conference abstract deadline. Participants are each required to submit a full paper of not more than 25 pages in length to the Organizing Committee, attaching a letter giving his or her age and present academic rank. All submissions for the YSA competition must be original papers that have not been published, accepted for publication, or presented at a major conference and to appear in its proceedings. Previous award winners are not allowed to re-enter the competition. The same paper cannot be re-submitted. All papers submitted for the YSA competition are subject to review by a Review Committee appointed by the IACL President. A maximum of 5 (normally 2-4) Finalists will be selected, each awarded a travel subsidy (of around $500) and invited to the IACL Conference to make an oral presentation at a special session organized for this purpose, before a Panel of Judges chaired by the IACL President. (The Review Committee of any given year may also recommend that no Finalist be invited.) The author of the best paper selected by the Panel will be honored at the banquet of the annual conference and presented with an Award Certificate. |

| The POLA Award |
This new award is an annual prize in the amount of US $500, established in the honor of Professor Hsin-I Hsieh for his immense contributions to the IACL and to the field of Chinese Linguistics. The award is offered as a token of encouragement to young scholars who wish to devote themselves to interdisciplinary studies in Chinese linguistics, a direction that POLA (Project on Linguistics Analysis) at University of California at Berkeley has pursued since the 1970’s. The prize will be administered as part of the Young Scholar Award (YSA) process. All papers with an interdisciplinary approach submitted for YSA will automatically be concurrently considered for the POLA Award. Applicants should follow the published YSA guidelines in preparing their submissions. All regulations, restrictions, and selection criteria adopted in the YSA process will apply to papers considered for the POLA Award, with the exception that submissions for the POLA Award must have an interdisciplinary focus, which includes interface studies (phonology-syntax, morph-syntax, syntax-semantics, etc.), studies which combine diachronic and synchronic approaches, those that combine methodologies from different frameworks (formal, functional, typological, etc.), or those that combine linguistics and other disciplines (literature, anthropology, sociology, psychology, computer science, etc.). The first competition for the POLA Award will take place as part of the YSA competition at the 16th annual conference of the IACL, which is to be held in 2008 at Peking University, Beijing, China. |
