Meeting Description:

The North American Research Network in Historical Sociolinguistics (NARNiHS)
is accepting abstracts for its **2022 NARNiHS Research Incubator**.

The 2022 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 our global scholarly community (in addition to North America), to
join us online for our Research Incubator this coming spring.

Building on the great success of the first three 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 Research Incubator.  All presenters must pay the
appropriate registration fee by 01 March 2022 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 .  For general
information about the overall conference please visit the KFLC website:

2nd Call for Papers:

*** FINAL Call for Abstracts ***

The North American Research Network in Historical Sociolinguistics (NARNiHS)
is accepting abstracts for its **2022 NARNiHS Research Incubator**.

The 2022 NARNiHS Research Incubator will take place **entirely online** -- a
great opportunity for scholars in historical sociolinguistics from around the
world to participate without the limitations imposed by travel. We encourage
our fellow historical sociolinguists, and scholars from related fields, from
our global community (in addition to North America), to join us online for our
2022 Research Incubator.

Building on the great success of the first 3 years, this new kind of NARNiHS
conference seeks to provide a collaborative environment for work that is
in-progress, exploratory, proof-of-concept, prototyping, where 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.

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). Deadline:
15 November 2021 - late abstracts will not be considered!

Successful abstracts will 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. Failure to adhere to these criteria will likely result in
non-acceptance.

To encourage maximum exchange of ideas in the brainstorming/workshopping
environment of the NARNiHS Research Incubator, each panel of 3
thematically-grouped presentations will be 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 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 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 2022 NARNiHS
Research Incubator. Information about applying for the stipend will be sent
after acceptance of abstracts.
