The 2025 NARNiHS Research Incubator is an entirely online event (with
**free** registration).  This event offers an opportunity for scholars
in historical sociolinguistics from all over the world to participate
in cutting edge research without the limitations imposed by
international travel.  We encourage our fellow historical
sociolinguists and scholars from related fields in our global
scholarly community to join us online for our Research Incubator this
spring.
Abstract submission deadline:  03 February 2025, 11:59 PM (U.S.
Eastern Time).

The North American Research Network in Historical Sociolinguistics
(NARNiHS) is accepting abstracts for its 2025 NARNiHS Research
Incubator.  The 7th edition of this inclusive NARNiHS event seeks to
provide a collaborative environment where presenters bring work that
is in-progress, exploratory, proof-of-concept, or prototyping.  The
incubator's audience actively participates in workshopping these new
ideas, brainstorming along with the presenter to forge scholarly paths
and develop research solutions.  We see the NARNiHS Research Incubator
as a place for testing and pushing boundaries; developing new
theories, methods, models, and tools in historical sociolinguistics;
seeking feedback from peers; and engaging in productive assessment of
fledgling ideas and nascent projects.
Successful abstracts for this research incubator environment will
demonstrate thorough grounding in historical sociolinguistics,
scientific rigor in the formulation of research questions, and promise
for rich discussion of ideas.
NARNiHS welcomes papers in all areas of historical sociolinguistics,
which is understood as the application/development of sociolinguistic
theories, methods, and models for the study of historical language
variation and change over time, or more broadly, the study of the
interaction of language and society in historical periods and from
historical perspectives.  Thus, a wide range of linguistic areas,
subdisciplines, and methodologies easily find their place within the
field, and we encourage submission of abstracts that reflect this
broad scope.
We are soliciting abstracts for **25-minute presentations**.
Presenters will have the entire 25 minutes for their presentations,
with discussion happening in the "incubation session" at the end of
each panel.  Abstracts should be **no more than one page** (not
including examples and references, see below).
Abstracts will be accepted until 03 February 2025 -- late abstracts
will not be considered.
Successful abstracts will be explicit about which theoretical
frameworks, methodological protocols, and analytical strategies are
being applied or critiqued.  Data sources and examples should be
sufficiently (if briefly) presented, so as to allow reviewers a full
understanding of the scope and claims of the research.  Please note
that **the connection of your research to the field of historical
sociolinguistics should be explicitly outlined** in your abstract.
Failure to adhere to these criteria will likely result in rejection of
the abstract.
To encourage maximum exchange of ideas in the incubation environment,
an hour-long discussion with the audience -- led by specialists --
will follow each thematic panel and will encompass specific feedback
on three papers as well as emergent considerations of overarching
questions of theory, methods, and models.  To facilitate such
incubation, authors will be required to submit a draft of their
presentation materials for distribution to the panel discussants and
the other presenters a few days prior to the start of the conference.
Abstract Content Requirements:
1) Abstracts should be explicit about which theoretical frameworks,
methodological protocols, and analytical strategies are being applied
or critiqued.
2) Data sources and examples should be sufficiently (if briefly)
presented, so as to allow reviewers a full understanding of the scope
and claims of the research.
3) The connection of your research to the field of historical
sociolinguistics should be explicitly outlined.
Abstract Format Guidelines:
1) Abstracts must be submitted in PDF format.
2) Abstracts must fit on one standard 8.5×11 inch page, with margins
no smaller than 1 inch and a font style and size no smaller than Times
New Roman 12 point.  All additional content (visualizations, trees,
tables, figures, captions, examples, and references) must fit on a
single (1) additional page.  No exceptions to these requirements are
allowed; abstracts exceeding these limits will be rejected without
review.
3) Anonymize your abstract.  We realize that sometimes complete
anonymity is not attainable, but there is a difference between the
nature of the research creating an inability to anonymize and careless
non-anonymizing (in citations, references, file names, etc.).  Be sure
to anonymize your PDF file (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
the file before submission).  Do not use your name when saving your
PDF (e.g. Smith_Abstract.pdf); file names will not be automatically
anonymized by the EasyAbs system.  Rather, use non-identifying
information in your file name (e.g. HistSoc4Lyfe.pdf).  Your name
should only appear in the online form accompanying your abstract
submission.  Papers that are not sufficiently anonymized wherever
possible will be rejected without review.
General Conference Requirements:
1) Abstracts must be submitted electronically, using the following
link:
https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/25_NARNiHS_Incubator/ .
2) Papers must be delivered as projected in the abstract or represent
bona fide developments of the same research.
3) Authors are expected to virtually attend the conference and present
their own papers.
4) Presentations will be delivered via Zoom.  Technical details and
instructions regarding the platform will be sent to authors in due
time.
