Meeting Description:

The University of Oregon is pleased to host the 48th annual meeting of New
Ways of Analyzing Variation (NWAV), from October 10 to 13, 2019.  NWAV is the
leading conference on language variation and change.

This year's plenary speakers are:
- Renée Blake, New York University
- Alexandra D’Arcy, University of Victoria
- Devyani Sharma, Queen Mary University of London

2nd Call for Papers:

(Also see Call for Workshops at https://nwav48.uoregon.edu/)

Deadline: June 1, 2019 (23:59 AoE: UTC-12)

Abstract submissions are invited for presentations (oral and poster) in all
areas related to language variation and change for New Ways of Analyzing
Variation (NWAV) 48, to be held at the University of Oregon, in Eugene, Oregon
October 10-13, 2019.

Abstracts for Regular Papers and Posters: Abstract submission begins April 1,
2019 and remains open until June 1, 2019. Abstracts should be no more than 500
words, confined to 1 page of text. (Bibliography, glossed/transcribed
examples, and images may appear on a second page and do not count toward the
word limit.) All abstracts must be submitted in PDF format. Abstracts should
be anonymized to omit all information about the author(s).

Abstracts should be submitted via EasyChair at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nwav48 .

Special Session Proposals: We also invite proposals for special sessions.
Proposals for special sessions should include one abstract describing the
special session itself, plus an additional abstract for each proposal paper.
These should be combined into a single PDF document, with page breaks between
each individual abstract. Each of the abstracts should follow the guidelines
outlined above, however the main abstract for the special session can be
non-anonymous if you believe that information about the authors is important
for the review of the proposed session (each individual paper abstract should
still be kept anonymous). Submissions for special sessions will be submitted
via the EasyChair site, where you should indicate, via a checkbox, that the
submission is for a special session. Please contact the organizers ahead of
time (at nwav48 at gmail.com) if you have questions about special sessions or
about the specifics of your proposed session.

Although we welcome submissions on all areas of language variation and change,
for NWAV 48 we particularly welcome submissions for papers and for special
sessions that align with the following special topic areas:

- Variation and change in underdocumented speech communities
- Acquisition of sociolinguistic variation
- Sociolinguistics and the listener
- Computational sociolinguistics

Authors may submit one single-authored and one joint-authored abstract, or two
joint-authored abstracts. This limit applies to all presentations, regardless
of type (paper, poster, or part of a special session).

In the submission process, you will be asked to indicate topic areas for the
submission. These are used simply to facilitate the reviewing process. You
will also be asked to indicate whether the submission is eligible for the Best
Student Abstract Award (see below) and whether you prefer to give a poster
presentation.

Continuing with recent NWAVs, poster presentations are not considered
second-tier presentations at NWAV 48 but rather are a central part of the
conference. Papers will be selected for oral or poster presentation based on
determinations in the review process about the most effective format for
submissions. However, if you prefer a submission be considered primarily for
poster presentation, you can indicate this in the submission process.

Eligibility for the Best Student Abstract Award: Thanks to sponsorship from
Cambridge University Press, submissions whose primary intellectual work has
been done by students are eligible for a Best Student Abstract Award. This
must be indicated with your submission, via a checkbox in the EasyChair site.
Eligible submissions are not limited to those with only student authors, but
any faculty co-authors are expected to have only played advisory roles (such
as for dissertation-based research, or for projects that originated as
class-based research).
