Meeting Description:

The American Name Society (ANS) is a professional organization devoted 
to the study of names and their role in society. 

Further information concerning the Linguistic Society of America may be 
obtained from the LSA homepage at www.lsadc.org.  Additional information 
about the American Name Society may be accessed at 
www.wtsn.binghamton.edu/ANS/.  Complete information regarding the 2011 
annual meeting, including all fees, will be available on the ANS website by 
late summer. 

Call for Papers

ANS invites précis and abstracts for papers and program suggestions for its 
annual meeting to be held in conjunction with the Linguistic Society of 
America (LSA), the American Dialect Society (ADS), and other allied, 
professional organizations.  The 2011 meeting will be at the Hilton 
Pittsburgh, January 6-9, 2011. 

Papers in any area of onomastics are appropriate, and a précis of not more 
than 500 words, along with a 100-word abstract for publication both the LSA 
and ANS meeting programs, should be submitted as soon as convenient but 
no later than August 15, 2010.  In the précis, the subject of the proposed 
paper should be stated in a simple, topic sentence, which is then effectively 
supported by substantiating information and specific examples.  

The preferred mode of transmission for both the précis and accompanying 
abstract is by an introductory e-mail with attachment sent to 
ANS1stVP at yahoo.com, with "ANS Proposal" in the subject line.  (Contact 
ANS1stVP at yahoo.com for surface mail instructions, if necessary.) 
Members and other interested parties who will need additional time to 
secure international payments and plan for travel to the United States are 
urged to submit their précis and abstracts as soon as possible to be able to 
make the necessary arrangements to be present in January.  

All précis will be evaluated anonymously, and their authors will be notified 
on or before September 15, 2010.  The abstracts for papers that are 
accepted will be published in the LSA Meeting Handbook.  Abstracts and 
biographical information for each participant, which will be requested at the 
time the proposal is accepted, will be printed in an abbreviated ANS 
program.

Membership in ANS is a requirement of all presenters, who must also pay 
the LSA conference registration fee.  This fee allows one access to all LSA, 
ADS, and other allied organizations' sessions, the plenary sessions, the 
book exhibits, and the job placement service.  It also makes one eligible for 
a reduced rate at the conference hotel.  Presenters will also be expected to 
pay an additional, incidental registration fee to ANS to cover expenses for 
any items not provided by LSA.  Papers that are accepted for presentation 
must be read by their author or co-author.  In the event that authors are 
unable to attend the meeting, papers will not be presented or read by third 
parties.
