We are delighted to announce the recipients of fellowships to attend the LSA's 2019 Linguistic Institute at the University of California, Davis. The LSA administers the competitive applications for Institute Fellowships. In addition to many fellowships covering tuition, several Named Fellowships provide additional support.

The Named Fellows are:

Bernard and Julia Bloch Fellow

Wunetu Tarrant (University of Arizona)
The Bloch Fellow also serves as the Chair of the LSA's Committee on Student Issues and Concerns (COSIAC).  In that capacity, the COSIAC Chair plays a central role in organizing student-centered activity at the Annual Meeting. 

Charles Fillmore Fellow

Russell Simonsen (University of Minnesota)
The fellowship is to be awarded to a student specializing in one of the following subfields: corpus linguistics, semantics, construction grammar, frame semantics, or computational linguistics. Preference is given to applicants from the University of Minnesota, where Fillmore received his BA in Linguistics.

Yuki Kuroda Fellow

Morine Kondo (University of Tokyo)
This fellowship is reserved for linguistics students from Japan. Preference will be given to Japanese who haven't yet started a graduate program in linguistics in the US.

Ivan Sag Linguistic Institute Fellow

Kang (Franco) Liu (Pomona College)
The Ivan A. Sag Institute Fellowship is for an exceptionally promising linguist, and with the expectation that the Sag Fellow will go beyond the normal Institute participation, exercising the kind of inclusiveness, generosity and energy that made Ivan who he was.

The Fellowship is awarded to a student who is pursuing a course of study to document endangered languages and work with communities toward their preservation.
