The 2005 NAAHoLS meeting will again be held in conjunction with the Linguistic Society of America, the American Dialect Society, the Society for the Study of the Indigenous Languages of the Americas, and the Society for Pidgin and Creole Linguistics. 

The meeting will take place at the Hyatt Regency in San Francisco, California between 6-9 January, 2005.  Further details about the meeting will be provided in the next newsletter (to be distributed Summer 2004).

As in the past, we invite papers relating to any aspect of the history of the language sciences.  All presenters must be members of the association (contact the NAAHoLS Treasurer for details).  Papers will be 20 minutes, with 10 minutes for discussion.  Abstracts may be submitted as hard copies or as file attachments (MS Word only).  The length of the abstract should not exceed 500 words -- a shorter (200 word) abstract will also be requested for the meeting handbook.  The deadline for abstracts is 1 September 2004. 

Abstracts should be sent to:  David Boe, Department of English, Northern Michigan University, Marquette, MI  49855; (906) 227-2677; dboe@nmu.edu

The organising committee includes members of two associated projects on Linguistic Historiography: the Brazilian project 'Nossa língua e essoutras: para uma historiografia da diversidade lingüística brasileira', co-ordinated by Professor Cristina Altman (CEDOCH-DL/USP), Oslo Project on Missionary Linguistics (OSPROMIL), co-ordinated by Professor Otto Zwartjes (University of Amsterdam), Language Centre, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and the Instituto Inter-Universitário de Macau. 

December 15th, 2004: Deadline for submission of abstracts 
Abstracts of around 200 words may be sent in English, French, Spanish or Portuguese, to either of the organisers Gregory James (lcgjames@ust.hk) or Otto Zwartjes (otto.zwartjes@kri.uio.no). Please note that English, Spanish, Portuguese and French are the languages of the presentations. Submitted papers to be considered for publication must be written either in English or in Spanish. 

Please include the name(s) or the presenter(s), institution, postal address and e-mail address, and indicate the language in which the presentation is intended to be given. 

Papers will be selected on the basis of the abstract by an international advisory board. The originality of the approach chosen by the author and the interest of the documental materials of the research will be the main criteria for inclusion in the programme.

Nicosia, Cyprus, 11-13 February 2005

Veranstaltet vom Studienkreis ‘Geschichte der Sprachwissenschaft’ (SGdS) in Zusammenarbeit mit der ‘Faculty of Letters’ und dem ‘Department of Classical Studies and Philosophy’ (Prof. Dr. Ioannis Taifacos, Dekan; Prof. Dr. Anna Panayotou-Triantaphyllopoulou und Dr. Stephanos Matthaios, wiss. Mitarbeiter) der ‘University of Cyprus’

Während die vorangegangene SGdS-Tagung einem speziellen Themenkreis gewidmet war, ist das Thema des XVII. Internationalen Kolloquiums des SGdS wieder so weit gefasst, dass es für alle sprachwissenschaftsgeschichtlichen Studien offen ist. Auch Beiträge zur Antiken Gram-matikographie sind selbstverständlich willkommen. Zudem ist eine Nachbesprechung bzw. Weiterführung des Workshops "Die Kategorie ‘Adverb’ in der europäischen Grammatiko-graphie" geplant, der auf dem XVI. Internationalen Kolloquium des SGdS stattgefunden hat.

Von den angegebenen 3 Tagen sind der 11. und 12. Februar für die wissenschaftliche Arbeit vorgesehen, während für den 13. Februar, einem Sonntag, eine Exkursion zu einigen ausgewähl-ten Monumenten der griechischen Antike auf dem Plan steht. Um den Teilnehmer-kreis so beschränkt zu halten, dass das Kolloquium durchgehend als Plenarveranstaltung durch--geführt werden kann, können maximal 16 Vorträge angenommen werden. Es empfiehlt sich daher, sich möglichst bald unter Angabe des Themas und mit einem Abstract von ca. einer halben Seite bei den Organisatoren anzumelden. Letzter Termin für die Anmeldung ist der 31. August 2004.

Vortrags- und Diskussionssprachen sind Deutsch, Englisch und Französisch. Eine Teilnahme-gebühr wird angesichts der anfallenden Reisekosten nicht erhoben (ein Flug mit Eurocypria von Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hamburg oder Hannover nach Nicosia kostet derzeit etwa 210 Euro). Nähere Informationen zu Anreise und Unterkunft werden den Teilnehmern nach der Anmeldung mitgeteilt.
