by it. Proposals for papers and posters by undergraduates, graduates, and
faculty are encouraged.


Call for Papers:

>From Thursday, January 4 through Sunday, January 7, 2018, ADS will again
follow the Linguistic Society of America westward, this time to Salt Lake
City, for our annual meeting at the Grand America Hotel.

Monday, August 14, is the deadline for proposals for 20-minute presentations.
After successfully implementing a new procedure for 2017, we will continue it
this year. Abstracts will be submitted, reviewed and processed for ADS2018 via
the EasyChair system using the following Web site:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ads2018.

Proposals will be judged anonymously by a team of ADS members. If your
proposal is accepted, you’ll be asked for an abstract of no more than 200
words for the LSA program.

This year a poster session will again be available. If you prefer to present
at a poster session, please say so with your proposal.

Presenters must be current members of the American Dialect Society. Do not
send the same proposal to both ADS and LSA.

Panels: If you wish to propose a panel session of an hour, please get in touch
now with Program Chair Michael Adams at madams1448 at aol.com.

Audio-visual equipment: An LCD projector with sound will be available for all
presentations, along with a microphone. If you will need other equipment,
please say so when you send your proposal.

Travel grants for students: Six travel grants of $500 each will be awarded to
students whose papers have been chosen for the program. Furthermore, all
students who are members of ADS are invited to attend the Annual Luncheon for
free.

Travel grant for ADS member: The seventh annual Audrey Duckert Memorial Travel
Award of $500 to attend the Annual Meeting will be given to an ADS member. The
recipient will be chosen by ADS President Sali A. Tagliamonte. Applications in
the form of a letter to President Tagliamonte will be due after the program
for the Annual Meeting has been determined. Audrey Duckert was a long-time
member of ADS and co-founder of the Dictionary of American Regional English.

Hotel and registration: ADS members will be eligible to reserve rooms and
register for the meeting at LSA member rates. For details see the website
linguisticsociety.org.

Future LSA-ADS meetings: 2019: New York City, Jan. 3-6, Sheraton New York
Times Square.

WOTY: As we have done for a quarter of a century, we will choose candidates
for Word of the Year on Thursday and vote for our WOTY the next day, with our
Bring-Your-Own-Book exhibit and reception immediately following. Nominations
for Words of the Year can be submitted all year long to
woty at americandialect.org.
