>From Thursday, January 3, through Sunday, January 6, 2019, the American
Dialect Society will hold its annual meeting in conjunction with the
Linguistic Society of America at the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel in
New York City.

Monday, August 13, is the deadline for proposals for 20-minute presentations.
Abstracts of no more than 500 words will be submitted, reviewed, and processed
for ADS2019 via the EasyChair system using the following website:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ads2019.

Three important notes about submitting through EasyChair, especially if you’ve
never done it before:

1. Because EasyChair publishes conference proceedings, you’ll see the option
to upload a complete paper — just ignore that option.

2. EasyChair is based in England and its clock keeps Greenwich Mean Time
(GMT), so submissions will close automatically at 23:59 GMT, which is not a
North American end of the day; we recommend submitting your abstract on or
before August 12, because the system will not accept late submissions.

3. The system will not allow you to upload an abstract longer than 500 words,
including title, references, etc.; if the system won’t accept your submission,
check to see if you’ve inadvertently exceeded the word limit.

Proposals will be judged anonymously by a team of American Dialect Society
members. If your proposal is accepted, you’ll be asked for an abstract of no
more than 100 words for the LSA program guide.

This year a poster session will again be available. If you prefer to present
at a poster rather than a 20-minute paper, please say so with your proposal.

Presenters must be current members of the American Dialect Society. Membership
is inexpensive! You may join here.

Do not send the same proposal to both the American Dialect Society and the
Linguistic Society of America. We also discourage submissions that have been
presented at the previous NWAV conference.

Panels: This year, the program will include the biennial panel on teaching
American speech. If you are interested in participating, please contact Anne
Curzan at acurzan at umich.edu. Abstracts of contributions to the panel will be
reviewed individually, similar to the 20-minute presentations.

Last January, the ADS Executive Committee agreed on the following policy
regarding panels (besides the teaching panel): Going forward, only especially
timely panels will be considered for the programs of annual meetings. If you
have questions about the policy or would like to propose an especially timely
panel, please contact Michael Adams at adamsmp at indiana.edu.

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.

Session chairs: If you’re interested in chairing a session, contact Michael
Adams at adamsmp at indiana.edu.

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.

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
www.lsadc.org.
