The National Communication Association, the oldest and largest association dedicated to the communication discipline, presents the award annually to a member who has published a journal article or book chapter which has stood the test of time and has become the stimulus for new conceptualizations of speech communication phenomena. All entries were read and reviewed by a selection committee comprised of college professors from around the country. The selection committee said that those writing in support of the essay were passionate about the ways that “The Critique of Vernacular Discourse” had influenced their careers, “offering spaces of possibility and entry for many of us.” The article was first published in 1995. The award will be presented to Sloop and Ono during the annual convention of the National Communication Association in San Diego Nov. 21–24. The association, which has more than 8,800 members, supports the communication research, teaching, public service and practice of a diverse community of scholars, educators, administrators, students, practitioners and publics.
