Congratulations to SLaLS faculty members Ash Asudeh (Linguistics) and Janna Fox (Applied Linguistics & Discourse Studies) who have been awarded two of the 2010 FASS Research Awards. Only up to four of these awards are made each year, so this is a wonderful reflection on the quality, importance, and variety of research going on in SLaLS. Ash is working on a book project under contract with Oxford University Press on the logic of resumptive pronouns, and Janna is working on the development of a diagnostic approach to meeting specific needs of entering university students depending on their particular skills profiles with respect to academic English.
