The 2009 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 in San Francisco, CA, 8-11 January, 2009. Further details about the meeting will be provided in the next newsletter (to be distributed Summer 2008).

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 Secretary 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 (100 word) abstract will also be requested for the meeting handbook.  The deadline for abstracts is 1 September 2008. 

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