Linguistic Field(s): Sociolinguistics
Call Deadline: 25-Mar-2016
Meeting Description:
The American Name Society invites proposals for a panel under the theme of “Names and Multilingualism.” Multilingual and multicultural communities have been developed since the ancient world. The linguistic and cultural contacts within these communities have attracted the interest of a broad range of disciplines, where in some cases different strands have emerged. Personal as well as place names (i.e. anthroponymy and toponymy respectively), mirror the interactions and the subsequent changes in those communities, thus modern scholarship often emphasizes their significance.
Call for Papers:
