The North American Research Network in Historical Sociolinguistics (NARNiHS=
) is accepting abstracts for its 9th Annual Meeting.=A0 As a Sister Society=
 of the Linguistic Society of America (LSA), NARNiHS will hold its Annual M=
eeting sessions at the LSA Annual Meeting in San Francisco, Wednesday-Satur=
day, 6-9 January 2027. The 9th edition of this inclusive NARNiHS event seek=
s to provide a collaborative environment where presenters bring fully devel=
oped work for presentation and enrichment. We see the NARNiHS Annual Meetin=
g as a place for showcasing excellent projects in historical sociolinguisti=
cs, seeking feedback from peers, and engaging in productive development of =
the field's enduring questions.

NARNiHS welcomes papers in all areas of historical sociolinguistics, which =
is understood as the application and/or development of sociolinguistic theo=
ries, methods, and models for the study of historical language variation an=
d change over time, or more broadly, the study of the interaction of langua=
ge and society in historical periods and from historical perspectives. Thus=
, a wide range of linguistic areas, subdisciplines, methodologies, and adja=
cent disciplines easily find their place within historical sociolinguistics=
, and we encourage submission of abstracts that reflect this broad scope.

Abstracts will be accepted for both 20-minute papers and posters. Accepted =
papers will be organized into thematic sessions that will be scheduled thro=
ughout the 4 days of the LSA conference; accepted posters will be scheduled=
 together in the LSA poster gallery. Please note that, at NARNiHS events, p=
oster presentations are an integral and equal part of the intellectual exch=
ange (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.=A0 However, *if you prefer th=
at your submission be considered primarily for poster presentation*, please=
 specify this in your abstract.

Successful abstracts will demonstrate *thorough grounding* in historical so=
ciolinguistics, *scientific rigor* in the formulation of research questions=
, and *promise for rich discussion* of ideas. Successful abstracts will be =
explicit about which *theoretical frameworks*, *methodological protocols*, =
and *analytical strategies* are being applied or critiqued. *Data sources a=
nd examples* should be sufficiently presented, so as to allow reviewers a f=
ull understanding of the scope and claims of the research. Please note that=
 *the connection of your research to the field of historical sociolinguisti=
cs* should be explicitly outlined in your abstract. Failure to adhere to th=
ese criteria will likely result in rejection of the abstract.

*** Abstract Format Guidelines ***.

- Abstracts must be submitted in PDF format.

- Abstracts must fit on one 8.5x11-inch or A4 page, with margins no smaller=
 than 1 inch (2.54 cm) and a font style and size no smaller than Times New =
Roman 12 point. You are encouraged to use the entire page to provide a full=
 and robust description of the research. All additional supporting content =
(visualizations, trees, tables, figures, captions, examples, and references=
) must fit on a single (1) additional page. No exceptions to these requirem=
ents are allowed; abstracts longer than one page or with more than one addi=
tional page of supporting content will be rejected without review.

- Specify if you prefer your submission be considered primarily for a poste=
r presentation.

- Anonymize your abstract. We realize that sometimes complete anonymity is =
not attainable, but there is a difference between the nature of the researc=
h creating an inability to anonymize and careless non-anonymizing (in citat=
ions, references, file names, etc.). Be sure to also anonymize your PDF fil=
e (you may do so in Adobe Acrobat Reader by clicking on "File", then "Prope=
rties", removing your name if it appears in the "Author" line of the "Descr=
iption" tab, and re-saving the file before submission). Do not use your nam=
e as the file name when saving your PDF (e.g. Smith_Abstract.pdf); file nam=
es may not be automatically anonymized by the EasyAbs system. Rather, use n=
on-identifying information in your file name (e.g. HistSoc4Lyfe.pdf). Your =
name should only appear in the online form accompanying your abstract submi=
ssion. Abstracts that are not sufficiently anonymized wherever possible wil=
l be rejected without review.

*** General Requirements ***.

- Abstracts must be submitted electronically using the following link: http=
s://easyabs.linguistlist.org/submit/NARNiHS_2027

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

- Authors may not submit identical abstracts for presentation in NARNiHS Se=
ssions and at the LSA Annual Meeting or another LSA Sister Society meeting =
(ADS, ANS, NAHoLS, SCiL, SPCL, or SSILA).

- Specify if you prefer your submission be considered primarily for a poste=
r presentation.

- After submission, no changes of author, title, or wording of the abstract=
 may occur.=A0 If your abstract is accepted, adjustment of typographical er=
rors is permitted before a final version of the abstract is printed in the =
conference booklet.

- Papers and posters must be delivered as projected in the abstract or repr=
esent bona fide developments of the same research.

- Authors are expected to attend the conference in-person and present their=
 own papers and posters.=A0 This will not be a hybrid event.
