with the Linguistic Society of America

Albuquerque, New Mexico, January 5-8, 2006

Call for Papers

          The American Name Society (ANS), a professional organization
devoted to the study of names and their role in society, invites
pr=E9cis and abstracts for papers and program suggestions for its annual
meeting to be held in conjunction with the Linguistic Society of America
(LSA), American Dialect Society (ADS), and other allied, professional
organizations in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at the Hyatt Regency
Albuquerque, January 5-8, 2006.

Papers on any area of onomastics, particularly literary onomastics, are
appropriate, and a pr=E9cis of not more than 500 words, along with a
100-word abstract for publication in the LSA program, should be
submitted as soon as convenient but not later than August 15, 2005. In
the pr=E9cis, 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.

Proposals for panel discussions, suggestions for distinguished speakers,
and/or other types of proposals are due by August 1, 2005. Although the
preferred mode of transmission for both the pr=E9cis and accompanying
abstracts, as well as proposals, is by an introductory e-mail with
attachment sent to paord_at_verizon.net, they may also be sent by surface
mail addressed to:

P. A. Ord

414 High Earls Road

Westminster, MD 21158-3710

All pr=E9cis will be evaluated anonymously, and their authors will be
notified by September 1, 2005, or as soon as possible thereafter. The
abstracts for papers that are accepted will be published in the LSA
Meeting Handbook. 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 organization
sessions, as well as the book exhibits, and makes one eligible for the
reduced hotel rate of $92.00/night, double or single. Presenters will
also be expected to pay an additional, incidental registration fee to
ANS, to cover expenses for any items not provided by LSA. A summary of
all projected fees and expenses will be provided with the final paper
call in mid-July.

Further information concerning the Linguistic Society of America and the
2006 LSA meeting in Albuquerque may be obtained from the LSA homepage at
