Co-Located with the 2017 LSA Linguistics Institute - Lexington, Kentucky, USA.

Description:  This event is the inaugural public meeting of the North American
Research Network in Historical Sociolinguistics (NARNiHS). We invite abstracts
for:

- Traditional conference presentations (20 minutes, plus 10 Q&A)
- Digital poster presentations, including software demonstrations of new
research tools and methods
- Workshops providing opportunities for guided, hands-on work with digital
research tools and methods for historical sociolinguistic research.

Abstracts can be a maximum of one page in length (plus a second page as needed
for diagrams, charts, data tables, and references), and should be sent to:
narnihistsoc at gmail.com. 

The abstract itself should be anonymous, with contact information included in
the email.

Deadline for abstracts: May 1, 2017

We are pleased to note that the posters and software demos will be presented
digitally (on landscape-oriented LCD monitors) and will thus allow for
interactive display of datasets, visualizations, software tools, etc.

Workshop proposals should emphasize hands-on work with specific digital
tools/methods for historical sociolinguistics research and be designed to fit
into a 2.5-hour time slot.

The overall design of this event is intended to maximize exposure to
high-level current work in the field of historical sociolinguistics, provide
hands-on experience in selected tools and methods in the field, build the
professional network, and situate the field within the broader landscape of
general linguistics. The event is free and open to all interested parties.
