The Australian National University (ANU) is hosting the 24th International
Conference on Historical Linguistics (ICHL24), from 1st July – 5th July
2018. Abstracts are invited for workshop proposals to be submitted by *29th
July 2018* and for papers in the general session to be submitted by *14th
September 2018*.



This biennial conference brings together historical linguists and
specialists in related fields to explore advances in areas including
methods and practices of linguistic reconstruction, formal approaches to
language change, historical sociolinguistics, computational approaches to
historical linguistics, contact and areal linguistics, and interfaces
between historical linguistics and other disciplines, and many other
related areas.



Workshop proposals should be a maximum of 2 pages (excluding references)
and give a description that includes the workshop research questions and
goals, as well as a list of up to five potential participants with their
possible paper topics. Conference participants will also be invited to
submit abstracts for possible inclusion in a workshop in the general call
for abstracts. Acceptance of workshops will be announced by mid-August
2018. Workshop proposals are to be submitted using the online form here:
http://www.dynamicsoflanguage.edu.au/ichl24/call-for-papers/.



Abstracts for papers in the general session should be no more than one page
with 12pt font, and can include a second page for references. Scholars may
submit a maximum of two papers, whether sole authored or co-authored. This
includes submissions to workshops. Acceptance of abstracts will be
announced by mid-November 2018.



Abstracts may be submitted for the general session or for one of the
workshops. Abstracts submitted for a workshop, but not accepted there, will
be automatically considered for inclusion in the general session. If
authors wish to submit an abstract for a workshop, we encourage them to
contact the workshop organizers ahead of time for advice on workshop
coherence.



Workshop proposals and abstracts will be reviewed by members of the ICHL24
Organising Committee.
