About NARNiHS 2023

Despite the recent relaxation of global pandemic travel policies, travel concerns remain for many communities as of the summer of 2022. In light of these concerns, and in response to the positive feedback we have received concerning our recent all-online events, our NARNiHS 2023 Annual Meeting will once again be taking place as a free, entirely online event. This presents a great opportunity for scholars in historical sociolinguistics from all over the world to participate as presenters and/or attendees without the limitations imposed by international travel. We encourage our fellow historical sociolinguists and scholars from related fields from our global scholarly community (in addition to North America) to join us online for our Fifth Annual Meeting.

The North American Research Network in Historical Sociolinguistics (NARNiHS) will hold its Fifth Annual Meeting (NARNiHS 2023), Wednesday, January 4 – Sunday, January 8, 2023. Since NARNiHS is a Sister Society of the Linguistic Society of America (LSA), NARNiHS 2023 will partially overlap with the LSA 2023 Annual Meeting. The NARNiHS 2023 Annual Meeting, however, will be organized independently from the LSA Annual Meeting.
