Meeting Description:

''NARNiHS @ the KFLC'' seeks to provide a collaborative conference environment
where presenters bring work that is work-in-progress, exploratory,
proof-of-concept, prototyping; and the audience participates in the
brainstorming and workshopping of those new ideas. We see NARNiHS @ the KFLC
as a place for testing/pushing boundaries; developing new theories, methods,
models, tools; seeking feedback from peers willing to engage in productive
assessment of fledgling ideas and nascent projects.

Call for Papers:

The North American Research Network in Historical Sociolinguistics (NARNiHS)
is accepting abstracts for a new kind of NARNiHS conference with an exciting
new profile! ''NARNiHS @ the KFLC'' seeks to provide a collaborative
conference environment where presenters  bring work that is work-in-progress,
exploratory, proof-of-concept, prototyping; and the audience participates in
the brainstorming and workshopping  of those new ideas. We see NARNiHS @ the
KFLC as a place for testing/pushing boundaries; developing new theories, 
methods, models, tools; seeking feedback from peers willing to engage in
productive assessment of fledgling ideas and nascent  projects. Successful
abstracts for this ''research incubator'' environment will demonstrate
thorough grounding in the field, scientific  rigor in the formulation of
research questions, and promise for rich discussion.

NARNiHS welcomes papers in all areas of historical sociolinguistics, which is
understood as the application/ development of sociolinguistic theories,
models, and methods for the study of historical  language variation and change
over time, or more broadly,  the study of the interaction of language and
society in historical periods and from historical perspectives. Thus, a wide
range of linguistic areas, subdisciplines, and methodologies easily find their
 place within the field, and we encourage submission of  abstracts that
reflect this broad scope.

To encourage maximum exchange of ideas in the research incubator environment
of NARNiHS @ the KFLC, we are soliciting two types of submissions: (a)
15-minute individual presentation followed by a 15-minute question & answer
session; (b) 30-minute round-table-style  set of 2-3 interrelated
presentations on a single topic,  theme, method, model, dataset, etc. followed
by a 30-minute discussion session. Abstracts for both types of presentations
should be no more than 500 words (not including examples and references).
Abstracts  will be accepted until 26 November 2018 - late abstracts  will not
be considered!

Abstracts are submitted through the KFLC website (https://kflc.as.uky.edu/):
1) create an account and log in.
2) follow the menu path: Call for Papers > Submit an Abstract.
3) read carefully and follow the general KFLC abstract submission guidelines
and instructions.
4) NARNiHS is only accepting individual submissions of the two types
identified above, so the KFLC instructions regarding pre-organized panels do
not apply for the NARNiHS @ the KFLC sessions.
5) select the ''Linguistics'' track and indicate clearly at the very top of
your abstract: ''NARNiHS Abstract''.

NARNiHS @ the KFLC is hosted within the framework of the longstanding
conference, KFLC: the Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Conference at the
University of Kentucky. The KFLC has a tradition of attracting scholars from a
broad range of languages and specializations  and is pleased to be adding
historical sociolinguistics.  Acceptance of a paper implies a commitment on
the part of all participants to register and attend the conference. All
presenters must pay the appropriate registration fee by 4 March 2019 to be
included  in the program. For NARNiHS-specific questions please  contact the
program committee for NARNiHS @ the KFLC at: NARNiHistSoc at gmail.com,
http://narnihs.org. For general information about the overall conference
please visit the website: https://kflc.as.uky.edu/.
