2021 Research Article Award Winner

The American Association for Applied Linguistics (AAAL) community is proud to recognize and honor Aneta Pavlenko, Elizabeth Hepford, and Scott Jarvis as recipients of the 2021 AAAL Research Article Award. Their research article, An illusion of understanding: how native and non-native speakers of English understand (and misunderstand) their Miranda rights, was published by The International Journal of Speech, Language and the Law.

The AAAL Research Article award is bestowed annually upon the author or authors of a published refereed journal article which is recognized by leaders in the field to be of outstanding quality and to hold the broadest potential impact on the advancement of applied linguistic knowledge. This is a non-cash award consisting of a certificate presented to the author (a certificate will be presented to each author, if the winner is a multi-authored article).
