of America’s 2011 Best Paper in Language award for “A Test of the Cognitive Assumptions of Magnitude Estimation: Commutativity Does Not
Hold for Acceptability Judgments.” The honor recognizes the best paper(s) published in the society’s premiere journal,
Language, in any given year. Sprouse’s study appeared in the June issue of the quarterly publication
and was one of two recognized with the award at the society’s annual meeting, held
