Help[Facts] American Name Society call for papers
Dear Folks,
We have recently extended the Call for Papers deadline for the annual American Name Society meeting to be held in southern California the first week in January 2007 to August 1. I am posting it here in hopes that some of you are academics who would like to give a paper, and that any of you who live close to Anaheim might make plans to attend:
ANS Final Call for Papers - Deadline August 1
The American Name Society (ANS), a professional organization devoted to the study of names and their role in society, invites précis and abstracts for papers and program suggestions for its annual meeting to be held in conjunction with the Linguistic Society of America (LSA), the American Dialect Society (ADS), and other allied, organizations, at the Anaheim Hilton, 777 Convention Way, Anaheim, California, January 4-7, 2007.
Papers in any area of onomastics are appropriate, and a précis of not more than 500 words, along with a 100-word abstract for publication both the LSA and ANS meeting programs, should be submitted as soon as convenient but no later than August 1, 2006. In the précis, the subject of the proposed paper should be stated in a simple, topic sentence, which is then effectively supported by substantiating information and specific examples.
Although the preferred mode of transmission for both the précis and accompanying abstracts, as well as proposals, is by an introductory e-mail with attachment sent to paord@verizon.net, they may also be sent by surface mail, addressed to: P. A. Ord, 414 High Earls Road, Westminster, MD 21158-3710. Members and other interested parties who will need additional time to secure international payments and plan for travel to the United States are urged to submit their précis and abstracts as soon as possible to be able to make the necessary arrangements to be present in January.
All précis will be evaluated anonymously, and their authors will be notified on or before August 15, 2006. The abstracts for papers that are accepted will be published in the LSA Meeting Handbook. Abstracts and biographical information for each participant, which will be requested at the time a paper is accepted, will be provided in an abbreviated ANS program.
Please note: Membership in ANS is a requirement of all presenters, who are also expected to pay the LSA conference registration fee. This fee allows one access to all LSA, ADS, and other allied organizations’ sessions, the plenary sessions, the book exhibits, and the job placement service. It also makes one eligible for a reduced rate at the conference hotel. Presenters will also be expected to pay an additional, incidental registration fee to ANS to cover expenses for any items not provided by LSA.
Note also: Papers that are accepted for presentation at the annual meeting must be read by either their author or co-author. In the event that one is unable to attend the meeting, the paper will not be presented or read by another.
Further information concerning the Linguistic Society of America may be obtained from the LSA homepage at www.lsadc.org. Additional information about the American Name Society may be accessed at www.wtsn.binghamton.edu/ANS/.
LSA registration information is now available on the LSA website. Information for the ANS meeting, including all fees, will be available on the ANS website as soon as it can be posted; registration information will be available on or before August 1.
