LSA Establishes Emmon Bach Fellowship Fund

The Linguistic Society of America has just recently established a new charitable fund in honor and memory of our own Emmon Bach. This fund, which was initiated through the work of our own Barbara Partee, will support a scholarship for students seeking to attend the biennial Institute for Collaborative Language Research (CoLang; formerly InField), which trains students in collaborative linguistic fieldwork with language communities.

The fund is seeking donations to help them reach a goal of $50,000. Our own Barbara Partee, Lyn Frazier, and Alice Harris are contributing donors. Contributors do not have to be members of the LSA. For more information on this important new fund, please see the official announcement at the link below:
