Honorary Members
According to Article II, No. 8 of the LSA Constitution, any foreign scholar
of distinction in linguistic studies, not resident in the United States, may be elected
an honorary member by the Society on recommendation of the Executive Committee. The total
number of honorary members shall not exceed sixty and not more than three may be elected
in any one year. The LSA Committee on Honorary Members recommends to
the Executive Committee scholars who, in the Committee's judgement, should be considered for honorary
membership. These recommendations are made in the form of citations and are accompanied by CVs. The
Executive Committee recommends that LSA members attending the Business Meeting accept the
nominations and, upon the acceptance of these nominees, letters, including the citation,
are sent to the nominees requesting their written consent to become honorary members. To
nominate an honorary member, contact the LSA.
