<b style=""><i style="">new kind of NARNiHS conference</i></b> with an exciting new profile!
<i style="">NARNiHS @ the KFLC</i> seeks to provide a collaborative conference environment where presenters bring work that is work-in-progress, exploratory, proof-of-concept, prototyping; and the audience participates in the brainstorming and workshopping
of those new ideas. We see <i style="">NARNiHS @ the KFLC</i> as a place for testing/pushing boundaries; developing new theories, methods, models, tools; seeking feedback from peers willing to engage in productive assessment of fledgling ideas and nascent
projects. </span><span style="font-size:10.0pt; line-height:115%; font-family:Arial; color:black">Successful abstracts for this
<i>research incubator</i> environment will demonstrate thorough grounding in the field, scientific rigor in the formulation of research questions, and promise for rich discussion.</span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.0pt; line-height:115%; font-family:Arial">NARNiHS welcomes papers 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.</span></p>

theme, method, model, dataset, etc. followed by a 30-minute discussion session. Abstracts for both types of presentations should be no more than 500 words (not including examples and references). Abstracts will be accepted until 26 November 2018 – late abstracts
will not be considered!</span></p>
