Second Place in the Grad School Challenge

UMass Amherst Linguistics finished in second place in this year's Linguist List Grad School Challenge. Thanks to everyone who contributed, a special thanks to Barbara Partee for her matching gifts, and another special thanks to Peggy Speas for leading the drive for us. We had among the longest (perhaps the longest) list of donors of any school.

The silver medal brings with it two prizes for the department:

  • A subscription to the online version of Labov's The Atlas of North American English, by Mouton de Gruyter
  • An Introduction to Language and Linguistics by Christopher J. Hall (Continuum)
