Ivan Sag Linguistic Institute Fellowship
Established in 2014 in honor of our late colleague Ivan Sag, by contributions from LSA members, colleagues, and friends, the Ivan Sag Linguistic Institute Fellowship provides tuition, room and board, and travel for a student at the Linguistic Institute. The Sag Fellowship was awarded for the first time at the 2015 Linguistic Institute.Ivan Sag began attending Linguistic Institutes as a graduate student, and continued directing and teaching at Institutes throughout his life. He enlivened every Institute he attended not only with his intellectual engagement, but by organizing housing co-ops, parties in the co-ops, and rock bands to play at those parties. The Ivan A. Sag Institute Fellowship memorializes Ivan’s brilliance, his love of life and linguistics, and his willingness to share these loves with the Institute community. The Ivan A. Sag Institute Fellowship is for an exceptionally promising linguist, and with the expectation that the Sag Fellow will go beyond the normal Institute participation, exercising the kind of inclusiveness, generosity and energy that made Ivan who he was.
