Meeting Description:

The American Name Society invites proposals for a panel under the theme of
“Names and Multilingualism.” Multilingual and multicultural communities have
been developed since the ancient world. The linguistic and cultural contacts
within these communities have attracted the interest of a broad range of
disciplines, where in some cases different strands have emerged. Personal as
well as place names (i.e. anthroponymy and toponymy respectively), mirror the
interactions and the subsequent changes in those communities, thus modern
scholarship often emphasizes their significance. 


Call for Papers:

for the ANS panel at
Modern Language Association (MLA) Convention
5-8 January 2017
Philadelphia

We encourage submissions pertaining to this topic from diverse perspectives,
drawing evidence from literature, material culture, oral tradition, etc. of
any period or area. Papers may deal with any aspect of naming, e.g., personal
names, place names, corporate or trade names, name theory, etc.   

Proposals should include a title and abstract up to 350 words.

Proposals should be sent via email attachment (PDF format) to Andreas
Gavrielatos (a.gavrielatos at ed.ac.uk) with “MLA proposal” in the subject line.
Please, include the Title, Name of Speaker, Affiliation and email address in
the body of the email and NOT in the abstract.

Proposals must be received by 5 pm GMT on 13 March 2016. Proposers will be
notified of results soon thereafter, following blind review of proposals.

Panelists must be members of both MLA and ANS in order to present.

For questions, please contact Andreas Gavrielatos: a.gavrielatos at ed.ac.uk
