The Laurence Urdang Euralex Award 2007

The winner of the 2007 Laurence Urdang EURALEX Award is Mr. Anne Tjerk Popkema, Kiel, Germany/Groningen, The Netherlands.

Mr. Popkema plans to compile a glossary of Old Frisian words which are not recorded in the Altfriesisches Handwörterbuch (to be published December 2008). Some Old Frisian words fall outside the scope of this dictionary because they only appear as untranslated loan words in texts written in other languages than Old Frisian, e.g. in Latin or Middle Low German translations of Old Frisian legal texts and Latin, Middle Dutch or Middle Low German charters. With the Award Mr. Popkema will be able to supplement the stock of Old Frisian words with an estimated 150-250 main entries for words exclusively found in the non-Frisian sources, making up 1-2 % of the complete attested Old Frisian lexicon. The aim is to publish a lexicographical description of the Old Frisian remnants separately both online and in print.

Call for submissions

Current members of the Dictionary Society of North America are invited to apply for the 2008 Laurence Urdang DSNA Award (range from $500 to $2,500).

There will not be a separate EURALEX Laurence Urdang Award in 2008.
