SUNY Board of Trustees Appoints S.N. Sridhar
to Distinguished Professor Rank

The Board of Trustees of the State University of New York, the largest public university system in the U. S., at its meeting in May 2011 appointed Shikaripur N. Sridhar, Professor of Linguistics and India Studies at Stony Brook University, to the rank of Distinguished Service Professor. This rank is above that of the Full Professor and is the highest faculty honor conferred by the university. In conferring this honor, said SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher, “we proudly recognize the extraordinary achievements of our teachers, scholars, and mentors, all of whom serve as stellar examples of SUNY's commitment to excellence."

“It is with great pride that we recognize the brilliant scholars and teachers whose service merits one of the SUNY distinguished ranks,” said Board Chairman Carl T. Hayden. “The Board joins with the recipients’ families and campuses in celebrating their academic, service, research, and teaching accomplishments.”

Professor Sridhar has been a member of the faculty at Stony Brook University since 1980. He has conducted extensive research in descriptive, theoretical and applied linguistics, including bilingualism, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, second language acquisition, and World Englishes. Sridhar is recognized as the world’s leading authority on the linguistics of Kannada and has been influential in several areas of Indian linguistics. He has authored three books, including Kannada Grammar (Routledge), Cognition and Sentence Production (Springer), and co-edited Ananya: A Portrait of India (AIA, 1997) and Language in South Asia (Cambridge, 2008), and special issues of journals. His works have been widely cited, and reprinted.

Language in India www.languageinindia.com congratulates Dr. S. N. Sreedhar for this recognition bestowed upon his solid work in linguistics and adjacent sciences. Side by side working with his equally talented life-partner, Dr. (Mrs.) Kamal K. Sridhar, Professor S. N. Sreedhar offers us a great model to emulate. We wish this illustrious couple of scholars long life and continued fruitful work.
