Ed C:
Can you put this out on ADS-L? It's complicated to explain but it
amounts to that my e-mail address of record with ADS is lawson at fredonia.edu
but when I send out mail it goes to edlawson at netsync.net & confuses the
ADS setup.
American Name Society with the Linguistic Society of America
CALL FOR PAPERS, PROGRAM SUGGESTIONS, AND PARTICIPANTS
Second Call: June 17, 2004 for San Francisco, January 6-9, 2005
San Francisco 2005.
The American Name Society invites abstracts for papers and program
suggestions for ANS sessions to be held in conjunction with the
Linguistic Society of America, the American Dialect Society, and other
organizations in San Francisco, 6-9 January 2005. We welcome all
members of ADS & LSA to attend all sessions.
The preferred mode of transmission of abstracts or proposals is by email
or e-mail attachment sent to:
edlawson at netsync.net <mailto:edlawson at netsync.net>
Abstracts sent by surface mail are acceptable and should be addressed to:
Edwin D.
Lawson

Westerly Drive
Fredonia
NY 14063
The meetings will take place at the Hyatt Regency Embarcadero. The
rates for a single/ double room are $115.00.
Abstracts on any area of onomastics are appropriate. Abstracts of
150-200 words should be sent as soon as convenient but not later than 1
September 2004. Proposals for panel discussions, nominations for
distinguished or speakers, or other types of proposal are due by August 1.
Eligibility. Membership in the American Name Society is a requirement.
There is also an ANS registration fee (to cover items not covered by
LSA, projector use, ANS printed programs, badges, etc.). The charge in
Boston was $16.
There is a registration fee due the Linguistic Society of America (in
addition to getting greatly reduced hotel rates, LSA offers us many
special lectures and the book exhibit). This year the regular fee was
$70 with other rates for students/retirees and for just one day.
Sessions of the American Dialect Society and other allied groups are
also open to ANS members. Non-Members of ANS are welcome to submit
abstracts but they will have to be members of ANS for final
acceptance of papers for presentation.
If a paper is accepted for ANS, the abstract will be published in the
LSA 180-page Meeting Handbook as well as the ANS program. Further
information on registration and on the hotel is to be available in May.
All abstracts will be evaluated anonymously and senders will be
notified by 15 September 2004 or as soon as possible after that date.
Further information concerning the Linguistic Society of America and
the 2005 LSA meeting in San Francisco can be obtained from the LSA
homepage,

We are happy to announce that William Bright, distinguished professor
emeritus of anthropology and linguistics, UCLA who is currently an
adjunct professor at the University of Colorado will be our keynote speaker.
"The study of names generally focuses on placenames and personal names,
but in principle can also include such classes as animal names and plant
names. Among the American Indian tribes of northwestern California, the
operation of a taboo on speaking the names of the dead had the
side-effect that other types of names, especially of animals, were
frequently replaced by descriptive expressions. The result was
vocabularies in which a high proportion of nouns were of the descriptive
type."
We are also please that Sheila Embleton of York University will be the
discussant.
Some abstracts have already come in from such far away places as New
Guinea and Nigeria. At least two session devoted to a single topic are
currently being negotiated.

The Boston Meeting (2004).
At the ANS sessions, 19 papers were presented, and 24 people
participated as authors, chairs, or discussants. The world of
onomastics was well-represented with participants from Canada, China,
Finland, Israel, Malta, South Africa, and United Kingdom, as well as
from the US.
The keynote speaker was Stanley Lieberson (Harvard University) who spoke
on, "Popularity as a taste: Application to the naming process." Our
special speaker was Patrick Hanks (Editor-in-Chief, Dictionary of
American Family Names) who spoke on, "Family names in America:
Assimilation and conservation." Ron Butters (Duke University) organized
two outstanding sessions on brand names.
We would also like to recognize Richard Sheil of SUNY, Fredonia, who
designed the program cover, Paul Drexler for local arrangements, and
ANS members who attended the sessions, Dorothy Litt, Ted Stevens, and
Paul Sorvo.
The first day's sessions were especially well-attended with more than 30
in attendance for the morning program and more than 40 people for the
afternoon program on brand names. Noteworthy is that many attendees
were from the Linguistic Society of America and the American Dialect
Society.
One feature introduced at the Boston meeting was to give authors the
option of having a discussant for their papers. Although not mandatory,
discussants often added a great deal to the presentations.
