The R.H. Robins prize A prize for an article on a linguistic topic that falls within the area of the Society's interests as defined by present and past publications in Transactions of the Philological Society written by a PhD student member. The Society is pleased to announce that the first winner of the R.H. Robins Prize is Virve-Anneli Vihman of the Department of Linguistics at the University of Edinburgh for an essay entitled 'Middle Voice in Estonian'. The Society's journal, Transactions of the Philological Society , is published twice a year in May and November. Occasional volumes, such as Publications of the Society and other separate titles, are issued as funds allow. The Society encourages all scholars, whether or not they are members, to submit articles and monographs for publication.
All submissions are subject to the normal reviewing process.
The Society meets seven times a year. Normally five meetings are held in London, one in Oxford, and one in Cambridge. At each of these meetings a full-length paper is read.
