American Dialect Society Annual Meeting 2027
Short Title: ADS 2027

Date: 06-Jan-2027 - 09-Jan-2027
Location: San Francisco, CA, USA
Meeting URL: https://americandialect.org/2027-cfp/

Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics; Lexicography;

Submission Deadline: 31-Jul-2026

ADS will hold its annual meeting in conjunction with the Linguistic
Society of America Wednesday, January 6 through Saturday, January 9,
2027, in San Francisco, CA. The meeting will be held at the San
Francisco Marriott Marquis.
Friday, July 31, 2026, is the deadline for 20-minute paper and poster
proposals, as well as innovative panel proposals.
We invite presentations on any aspect of all languages and dialects
used or found in North America (as well as associated islands in the
Pacific and the Atlantic) and in the Caribbean Basin, and the
languages that influence them: spoken, signed, or written, modern or
historical, Indigenous or introduced, common or rare. We also
encourage topics related to lexicography, linguistic atlas projects,
linguistic landscapes, language and society, and public
language-awareness programs.
Posters: We will have one in-person poster session; there will not be
an online session.
Panels: We welcome ideas for timely panels that address key questions
or challenges in the field and encourage creativity with the format.
Typically, panels are allotted an hour and a half to present and may
be structured as, for example, facilitated conversation among featured
speakers, interactive sessions between presenters and audience
members, or research presentations. If you have questions or would
like to propose an especially timely panel, please contact Anne
Curzan, acurzan at umich.edu.
Submitting Paper and Poster Proposals (due July 31, 2026):
Abstracts of no more than 500 words as a PDF will be submitted,
reviewed, and processed for ADS2026 via the EasyChair system using the
following website:  https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ads2027
Important: You should only include the title of the study at the top
of the abstract and indicate if the proposal is for a paper or poster.
Do not include your name or other identifying information on the
abstract. Abstracts that include author’s names will not be
considered. Do not send the same proposal to both ADS and LSA, and do
not submit proposals based on research that has been previously
presented at ADS or elsewhere (e.g., NWAV).
Submissions are limited to two per author, which may include one paper
and one poster, one of which must be co-authored. If you submit two
co-authored proposals with the same or different co-author(s), only
one proposal can be for a paper and the other must be for a poster.
Proposals will be reviewed anonymously by a minimum of two reviewers.
If your proposal is accepted, you’ll be asked for an abstract of no
more than 100 words for the LSA program.
