Forum for Germanic Language Studies (FGLS 8)

Germanic Linguistics Annual Conference (GLAC 15)

Studies in the History of the English Language (SHEL 6)

Banff, Alberta, Canada

April 30–May 3, 2009


The eighth conference of the Forum for Germanic Language Studies  
(FGLS), the fifteenth Germanic Linguistics Annual Conference (GLAC),  
and the sixth conference on Studies in the History of the English  
Language (SHEL) will be held jointly in Banff, Alberta, Canada from  
April 30 to May 3, 2009. There have only been two joint meetings of  
these groups in previous years—FGLS/GLAC met in London, England in  
2003, and GLAC/SHEL in Ann Arbor in 2004. This is the first time in  
history that the three groups are meeting together, and we are very  
pleased to be building on the great successes of the previous joint  
meetings. Please see below for further information on each society.

Call for Papers

Deadline: January 7, 2009

Faculty, graduate students, and independent scholars are invited to  
submit abstracts for 20-minute papers for presentation at FGLS, GLAC,  
and/or SHEL. Abstracts for FGLS and GLAC may be on any linguistic or  
philological aspect of any historical or modern Germanic language or  
dialect, including English (to the Early Modern period) and the  
extraterritorial varieties. Abstracts for SHEL may be on any  
linguistic or philological aspect of the history of English. Authors  
may submit a maximum of two abstracts. Papers from the full range of  
linguistic and philological subfields, including phonetics,  
phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics,  
sociolinguistics, stylistics, metrics, language acquisition, contact,  
and change, as well as differing theoretical perspectives, are  
welcome. All abstracts will undergo anonymous review.

Abstracts must be submitted electronically in PDF format as an email  
attachment to:

banff09(at)ucalgary(dot)ca.

Abstracts should be a maximum of one single-spaced page in length,  
and be written in a standard 12-point font. The page should be headed  
only by the title of the paper, and the abstract should contain no  
self-identification. The accompanying email should include the  
author's institutional affiliation, title of the paper, and  
conference affiliation (that is, FGLS, GLAC, and/or SHEL).  
Notification of acceptance will be sent out by February 15, 2009.

Tips for writing a good abstract are provided by the Linguistic  
Society of America at: http://lsadc.org/info/abstract-models.cfm.



FGLS 8
The Forum of Germanic Language Studies (FGLS) was founded in 1994 and  
is an informal group open to any scholar with an interest in Germanic  
linguistics. Most members are based in the British Isles and in many  
ways FGLS functions as the subject association of Germanic linguists  
in the UK. The inaugural meeting was held in Manchester under the  
name of the Forum for German Language Studies. At the 1996 meeting in  
York, the name was changed to reflect the Forum's broader focus.

GLAC 15

The Germanic Linguistics Annual Conference (GLAC) is the conference  
of the international Society for Germanic Linguistics (SGL), an  
organization serving the broad community of scholars teaching and  
researching in Germanic Linguistics and Philology. The conference  
welcomes papers encompassing the full range of subfields in Germanic  
linguistics and philology, including phonetics, phonology,  
morphology, syntax, semantics, sociolinguistics, language  
acquisition, psycholinguistics, and language contact and change, and  
all Germanic languages and dialects, including Modern German, Dutch,  
Yiddish, the Scandinavian languages, Afrikaans, Pennsylvania German,  
English (to 1500), and Gothic, as well as texts and manuscripts in  
these languages.

SHEL 6

Studies in the History of the English Language (SHEL) has become a  
biennial tradition, giving the field of Historical English  
Linguistics both focus and recognition in North America and providing  
the critical opportunity for scholars in the field to gather and  
share their research. SHEL follows in the tradition of the biennial  
International Conference on English Historical Linguistics (ICEHL),  
traditionally hosted at research centres throughout Europe. SHEL  
welcomes papers from the full range of linguistic and philological  
subfields, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax,  
semantics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, stylistics, metrics,  
discourse analysis, corpus linguistics, language acquisition,  
contact, and change, as well as differing theoretical and  
methodological perspectives.
