Meeting Description:

The North American Research Network in Historical Sociolinguistics (NARNiHS)
is hosting its 2020 NARNiHS Research Incubator.  Building on the success of
last year's inaugural event, this new kind of NARNiHS conference seeks to
provide a collaborative environment where presenters bring work that is
in-progress, exploratory, proof-of-concept, prototyping; and the audience
actively participates in the brainstorming and workshopping of those new
ideas.  We see the NARNiHS Research Incubator 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.  

The NARNiHS Research Incubator 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 include historical sociolinguistics in its linguistics division. 
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 1 April 2020 to be included in the program.  For
NARNiHS-specific questions please contact the program committee for the
NARNiHS Research Incubator at: NARNiHistSoc at gmail.com, http://narnihs.org. 
For general information about the overall conference please visit the KFLC
website: https://kflc.as.uky.edu/.

Call for Papers:

The NARNiHS Research Incubator welcomes papers in all areas of historical
sociolinguistics, which is understood as the application/development of
sociolinguistic theories, methods, and models 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.

We are soliciting abstracts for 25-minute presentations.  Abstracts should be
no more than 500 words (not including examples and references).  Abstracts
will be accepted until 25 November 2019 – late abstracts will not be
considered!

Authors should be explicit about which theoretical frameworks, methodological
protocols, and analytical strategies are being applied or critiqued; and data
sources and examples should be sufficiently (if briefly) presented, so as to
allow reviewers a full understanding of the scope and claims of the research. 
Please note that the connection of your research to the field of historical
sociolinguistics should be explicitly outlined in your abstract. 

To encourage maximum exchange of ideas in the brainstorming/workshopping
environment of the NARNiHS Research Incubator, presentations will be grouped
into thematic panels of three presentations, each panel followed by an
hour-long discussion with the audience led by specialists.  Discussion will
encompass specific feedback on the individual papers as well as consideration
of overarching questions of theory, methods, and models emerging from the
papers.  To facilitate such discussion, authors will be required to submit a
draft of their presentation materials for distribution to the panel
discussants and to the other presenters 10 days prior to the start of the
conference.

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, so the KFLC instructions
regarding pre-organized panels do not apply for the NARNiHS Research Incubator
sessions.
5) select the ''Linguistics'' track and indicate clearly at the very top of
your abstract: ''NARNiHS Abstract''.

Note for students:

We are able to offer a limited number of stipends to cover conference
registration and partial travel costs for student papers accepted for
presentation at the 2020 NARNiHS Research Incubator.
