Language and Social Interaction Division of NCA
The Language and Social Interaction Division of the National Communication Association (http://www.nca-lsi.org/) will recognize the outstanding doctoral dissertation in the field of Language and Social Interaction. Nominations should reflect the division’s focus on situated language usage and social interaction.

To be eligible for the award, a dissertation must have been officially completed (i.e., filed and defended) during 2017.
Nominations should be made by the dissertation advisor or a member of the Language and Social Interaction Division of NCA. Please email nominations with the following materials:
