Meeting Description:

The North American Research Network in Historical Sociolinguistics (NARNiHS)
is accepting abstracts for its *2021 NARNiHS Research Incubator*.

The 2021 NARNiHS Research Incubator will take place as an entirely online
event.  This presents a great opportunity for scholars in historical
sociolinguistics from all over the world to participate as presenters and/or
attendees without the limitations imposed by international travel, and we
encourage our fellow historical sociolinguists, and scholars from related
fields, from Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania, and Central and South America (in
addition to North America) to join us for our Research Incubator this spring.

Building on the great success of the first two years, 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 of ideas.

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 01 March 2021 to be included in the program.

Call for Papers: 

NARNiHS 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 15 November 2020 - 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 for *student* papers accepted for presentation at the 2021
NARNiHS Research Incubator.  Information about applying for the stipend will
be sent after acceptance of abstracts.

For NARNiHS-specific questions please contact the program committee for the
NARNiHS Research Incubator at:  NARNiHistSoc at gmail.com, http://narnihs.org .
