—————————— Call for Abstracts ——————————

The North American Research Network in Historical Sociolinguistics (NARNiHS) is 
accepting abstracts for its Seventh Annual Meeting (NARNiHS 2025) in 
Philadelphia, Thursday, January 9 – Sunday, January 12, 2025.

NEW! deadline for receipt of abstracts: Friday, 30 August 2024, 11:59 PM US 
Eastern Time.

NARNiHS welcomes abstracts in all areas of historical sociolinguistics, which 
is understood as the application/development of sociolinguistic theories, 
models, and methods 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.

Abstracts will be accepted for both 20-minute papers and posters. Please note 
that, at the NARNiHS annual meeting, poster presentations are an integral part 
of the conference (not second-tier presentations). Abstracts will be assigned a 
paper or a poster presentation based on determinations in the review process 
about the most effective format for the submission. However, if you prefer that 
your submission be considered primarily for poster presentation, please specify 
this in your abstract.

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.

Abstracts should also be anonymized to allow for blind peer review. Failure to 
adhere to these criteria will significantly increase the likelihood of 
non-acceptance (see also point (c) below).

General Requirements:

1) Abstracts must be submitted electronically, using the following link: 
https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/NARNiHS_2025/

2) Authors may submit a maximum of two abstracts: one single-author abstract 
and one co-authored abstract.

3) Authors may not submit identical abstracts for presentation at the NARNiHS 
meeting and at the LSA Annual Meeting or one of the other LSA Sister Societies 
(ADS, ANS, NAAHoLS, SCiL, SPCL, SSILA).

4) Specify in the abstract if you prefer that your submission be considered 
primarily for a poster presentation.

5) After an abstract has been submitted, no changes of author, title, or 
wording of the abstract, other than those due to typographical errors, are 
permitted. If accepted, authors will be contacted for a final version for the 
abstract booklet.

6) Papers or posters must be delivered as projected in the abstract or 
represent bona fide developments of the same research.

7) Authors are expected to attend the conference in-person and present their 
own papers and posters. This will not be a hybrid event.

Abstract Format Guidelines:

a) Abstracts must be submitted in PDF format.

b) 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.

c) Anonymize your abstract. We realize that sometimes it is not possible to 
attain complete anonymity, but there is a difference between “inability to 
anonymize completely” (due to the nature of the research) and “careless 
non-anonymizing” (for example: “In Jones 2021, I describe…”). In addition, 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 before submitting it). 
Please be aware that abstract file names might not be automatically anonymized 
by the system; do not use your name (e.g. Smith_Abstract.pdf) when saving your 
abstract in PDF format, rather, use non-identifying information (e.g. 
HistSoc4Lyfe_NARNiHS.pdf). Your name should only appear in the online form 
accompanying your abstract submission. Papers that are not sufficiently 
anonymized wherever possible (whether in the text of the abstract or in the 
metadata of the digital file) risk being rejected.

Contact us at [email protected] with any questions.

Carolina Amador-Moreno (on behalf of the organising committee).
