Final Call for Papers: 

Extended Deadline: December 1, 2016

SHEL 10 will be hosted by the English Department at the University of Kansas
on June 2-4, 2017. This 10th anniversary conference in the SHEL series seeks
to allow scholars to explore long-standing and emerging questions in the study
of the history of the English language (HEL). The conference invites abstracts
and workshop proposals from all linguistic approaches to and methodological
perspectives on HEL, and welcomes presentations on all varieties and periods
of the language. (More information on the conference website:
http://shel10.ku.edu/)

New deadline for abstracts: December 1, 2016

Notification of Acceptance: December 15, 2016

Submission Procedure:

Full papers (20 minutes + 10 minutes for questions): Please submit an abstract
of no more than 400 words (excluding references) to shel10 at ku.edu. Please
ensure that the abstract is anonymized (by, e.g., omitting personal
information and any revealing self-references). The abstract will undergo
blind peer review by the program committee.

Following a long-standing SHEL tradition, SHEL 10 will include a HEL teaching
workshop. This workshop is open to all approaches, and will be convened by
Chris Palmer, Kennesaw State University. (For more details, please see
separate CFP and the conference homepage.) If you are interested in
contributing to this workshop, please submit a full abstract (as described
above), and indicate at the top of the abstract that the paper is intended for
the HEL teaching workshop. Questions should be directed to the conference
organizers (shel10 at ku.edu) and Chris Palmer (cpalme20 at kennesaw.edu).

SHEL 10 will also feature a panel discussion on the future of HEL as an
academic discipline in North America. More information on this panel will be
forthcoming on the conference website (http://shel10.ku.edu/).

We look forward to welcoming you to KU!
