Full Title: Names: A Journal of Onomastics 


Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 16-Nov-2011 

The American Name Society is pleased to announce its first call for critical 
papers for an upcoming Special Issue of NAMES dedicated exclusively to 
exploring the relationship between NAMES, NAMING, AND THE INTERNET. 
>From  software to malware, the world wide web has yielded an astounding 
array of new names. By the same token, the virtual world has also had an 
unparalleled effect upon traditional names and naming patterns within the real 
world. As yet, however, scientific articles which have been published on 
these onomastic developments have been surprisingly few and far between. 
To help address this oversight, authors are cordially invited to submit 
abstracts for this Special Issue. In particular, the editors are interested in 
papers which systematically address the synchronic and/or diachronic 
relationship between the internet and names of any and all type. Possible 
topics for submission include the following: 

- user names
- names of computer parasites (e.g. viruses, worms, trojan horses, etc.)
- the influence of the internet on naming in the real world
- domain names
- international and/or national laws governing e-name usage
- passwords and names
- naming and virtual spaces (e.g. partner search banks, chat rooms, and 
social networks)

Authors wishing to have their article considered for publication are asked to 
send a 250-word abstract proposal as a Word document directly to the 
Special Editor Dr. I. M. Laversuch (mavi.yaz. at web.de) no later than 
November 16, 2011. 

All submissions must be in English and conform with the NAMES style sheet 
(http://www.maney.co.uk/journals/notes/nam). Each submission is to be 
accompanied by an electronic cover letter containing the following 
information: author name; author affiliation; author email and postal address; 
title of submission; total number of words. After submission, all abstract 
proposals will be subject to anonymous, external review. Specific inquiries 
regarding this call may be sent directly to the Series Editor:

P.D. Dr. Laversuch
Albertus Magnus Platz
English Department 
University of Cologne 
50923 Cologne
Germany-DEUTSCHLAND 
email: (mavi.yaz at web.de). 

Once an article has been accepted for publication in the special issue of 
NAMES, the author must join the American Name Society. Notifications 
regarding acceptance or rejection will be sent by December 30,  2012. Final 
papers from solicited authors will be due June 15, 2012 for final editorial 
review before publication. The projected date of publication is the Winter of 
2012.
