CALL FOR PAPERS - SPECIAL ISSUE OF NAMES
 
NAMES, the Journal of the American Name Society, now in its
43rd year of continuous publication, invites proposals for
papers for a special issue on NATIVE AMERICAN GEOGRAPHIC
NAMES: PROBLEMS, PRACTICES AND PROSPECTS, to be
edited by William Bright (University of Colorado),
scheduled for publication in early 1997.
 
The focus will be on native geographic names and naming,
and issues involved in their investigation. Papers
should not primarily report research, but on-going or
completed research should provide a framework for discussing
larger issues involved in the study of native geographic
names and the presentation of the results of that study. Papers
may have to do with the use of place names *within* Native
American societies (ethnogeographic studies), or with the
etymology and history of Native American place names
which have been borrowed into English, Spanish, French or
other European languages.
 
Possible topics may include (but are not limited to):
* problems arising in the identification, definition,
  and use of native geographic names
* concerns arising from the social, political, cultural
  or religious contexts of native geographic names
* problems arising in the encoding and sorting of information,
  and with the transliteration or transcription of native names
* current practices among scholars of native geographic names
* prospects for the future understanding of native geographic
  names.
 
The term 'American' is purposely vague, intended to include
all of the Western Hemisphere.
 
Contributors need not be members of the American Name Society.
 
Send proposals for papers and requests for further information to:
William Bright, Editor, Special Issue of NAMES,
1625 Mariposa Ave., Boulder, CO 80302
(e-mail: brightw at spot.colorado.edu).
 
Completed MSS must reach the editor not later than March 1, 1996.
Shortly after that date, the editor will be traveling outside the US,
and communications will be uncertain.
