Meeting Description:

We are soliciting abstracts for NARNiHS-sponsored special session(s) in
historical sociolinguistics at the New Ways of Analyzing Variation (NWAV)
Conference, which is fully virtual for its 49th edition. We welcome 20-minute
papers that study the interaction of language and society in historical
periods and from historical perspectives. A wide range of linguistic areas,
subdisciplines, and methodologies easily find their place within the field of
historical sociolinguistics, including, but not limited to:
- the study of language usage in historical context(s);
- the application/development of sociolinguistic theories to historical data;
- the use of contemporary sociolinguistic models to explain historical
linguistic variation;
- methods for the study of historical language variation and change over time.

Papers analyzing data in a quantitative way as well as those with an explicit
focus on this year's NWAV special topic areas are particularly welcome:
- Variation in less studied communities;
- Computational sociolinguistics;
- Methodological innovation;
- Combination of multiple methods.

North American Research Network in Historical Sociolinguistics
NARNiHS special sessions at NWAV 49
Online (via the University of Texas at Austin), 19-24 October 2021

Call for Papers: 

Deadline for submission of abstracts to NARNiHS: Sunday, 11 April 2021, 11:59
PM US Eastern Time.

Late abstracts will not be considered. Contact NARNiHistSoc at gmail.com with
questions.

Abstracts will be evaluated on the following criteria:
- explicit discussion of which theoretical frameworks, methodological
protocols, and analytical strategies are being applied or critiqued;
- sufficient (if brief) presentation of data sources and examples to allow
reviewers a clear understanding of the scope and claims of the research;
- clear articulation of how the research advances knowledge in the field of
historical sociolinguistics.

NWAV in the past:

year’s special topics (https://www.nwav49.org/)

Authors will be notified with a decision about acceptance for inclusion in the
NARNiHS @ NWAV special session proposal(s) by Friday, 30 April 2021. Authors
whose abstracts are not accepted are encouraged to submit their abstracts for
inclusion in the NWAV general sessions by NWAV’s 15 May 2021 deadline. Note
that acceptance into the NARNiHS-sponsored special session proposal(s) does
not guarantee acceptance into NWAV 49, as all special session proposals are
further reviewed by NWAV reviewers for final acceptance into the conference.

General Requirements:
1. Abstracts for 20-minute papers must be submitted to NARNiHS electronically,
using the following link: http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/NARNiHSatNWAV49
2. Authors may submit a maximum of two abstracts, one single-authored abstract
and one co-authored abstract.
3. Authors are expected to attend the online conference and present their own
papers.
4. After an abstract has been submitted, no changes of author, title, or
wording of the abstract, other than those due to typographical error, are
permitted. If accepted, authors will be contacted for a final version for the
conference program.
5. Papers must be delivered as projected in the abstract or represent bona
fide developments of the same research.
6. If accepted, authors may not submit identical abstracts for presentation in
the NARNiHS-sponsored panel(s) and in the NWAV general sessions. 

NWAV Abstract Guidelines (from https://www.nwav49.org/call-for-papers):
[Please follow these NWAV guidelines in preparing your abstract (as a PDF
file, US Letter format)]
''Abstracts should be anonymous, a maximum of one single-spaced page in
length, and be written in a standard 12-point font. Bibliography, glossed
and/or transcribed examples, and images may appear on a second page and do not
count towards the word limit.''

For your submission to NARNiHS, please note that your name should only appear
in the online form accompanying your abstract submission. If you identify
yourself in any way on the abstract itself (including indirect identification,
e.g. ''In Bly (1992)...I''), the abstract will be rejected without being
evaluated. In addition, be sure to anonymize your PDF document (you may do so
in Adobe Acrobat Reader by clicking on ''File'', then ''Properties'', removing
your name if it appears in the ''Author'' line of the ''Description'' tab, and
re-saving before submitting it).
