The Kenneth L. Hale Award, named after linguist Kenneth L. Hale, is an award given to a member of the Linguistic Society of America in order to recognize "scholars who have done outstanding work on the documentation of a particular language or family of languages that is endangered or no longer spoken."[1] It has been described as one "response to the urgency of recording endangered languages before they disappear."[2]
