12 months of stipend support (1 fellowship) per year for three years and a contribution to defray costs associated with the selection of fellows.

The Society for Classical Studies (hereafter SCS; formerly the American Philological Association, or APA) is the principal learned society in North America for the study of ancient Greek and Roman languages, literatures, and civilizations. The goal of this request from SCS is to fund Fellowships that will enable American scholars to engage in an international collaborative research project of a kind not available in this country: working for a year with foreign colleagues in the preparation of the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae (hereafter TLL) at the Thesaurus Institute in Munich, Germany. Between 1984 and 2014, the SCS has awarded thirty-one TLL Fellowships for work on the project. If NEH support for the TLL Fellowship is renewed, the Fellowship will continue to be administered by the SCS (principally through its Executive Director, Vice President for Publications and Research, and TLL Fellowship Advisory Board and Selection Committee).

Abstract: The task of the institute is to produce the first comprehensive scholarly dictionary of ancient Latin from the earliest times down to AD 600. The work is based on an archive of about 10 million slips which takes account of all surviving texts. In the older texts there is a slip for each occurrence of each word; the later ones are generally covered by a selection of lexicographically relevant examples. Nowadays this material is supplemented, where appropriate, by the use of modern data-banks. The dictionary articles result from a critical inspection and interpretation of this material. They allow the user to follow the development of meaning and usage in each word. Publication is in separate fascicules; more than two thirds of the complete work have appeared in the printed version and also (on the initiative of the publishers) in electronic form.
