The NAAHoLS 2027 Annual Meeting will be held concurrently with the Linguistic Society of America conference in San Francisco, CA, from January 6-9 2027. NAAHoLS has been meeting as a sister society of the LSA since 1989.
We invite abstracts for papers relating to any aspect of the history of the language sciences. NAAHoLS sessions last 30 minutes and presenters should plan to speak for 20 minutes, allowing 10 minutes for discussion.
We request that you submit an abstract of 250-500 words (including references), plus a shorter 100-word abstract for the LSA program. Submissions are now open through The Linguist List’s free EasyAbs platform, at https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/NAAHoLS2027/.
The deadline for submission of abstracts is September 1, 2026, and notification of acceptance can be expected by September 30, 2026.
All presenters must be members of NAAHoLS. As in past years, NAAHoLS members are eligible to register for and attend the full LSA meeting at the discounted LSA member rate.
The NAAHoLS 2027 program will be published in the NAAHoLS Fall 2027 Newsletter.
