The Association for Linguistic Typology's Joseph Greenberg Award recognizes and honours the best piece of typological research embodied in a doctoral dissertation or equivalent newly produced piece of research. The award is usually distributed in conjunction with the biennal ALT conference. For each new award competition a jury consisting of about 10 ALT members is appointed by the President of ALT in agreement with the Executive Committee. The award consists of payment of travel, per diem expenses and registration fee to attend the biennal conference. The award recipient is invited to present a synopsis or element of the prize-winning work as a plenary lecture at that meeting. The Joseph Greenberg Award was named to remember Joseph Greenberg's (1915-2001) fundamental contributions to typology and the interest he showed in encouraging young researchers. Between 1998 and 2006, it was known as the ALT Junior Award. To be eligible, those submitting their dissertation must be members of the Association for Linguistic Typology (ALT). They are asked to submit their manuscript to the chair of the jury following instructions posted on the LINGTYP list as well as on this website as they become available for each particular competition. The deadline for 2009 was January 31. The awards committee may also indicate other dissertations of exceptionally high quality among the ones submitted for the award competition. This is done by an Honourable Mention. Award Recipients and Honourable Mentions
