<br>  CALL FOR ARTICLES
<br>
<br>The June 1999 issue of NAMES: A Journal of Onomastics will
<br>be devoted to The Sociolinguistics of Names and Naming.
<br>
<br>Papers should relate names and/or naming to one or more of the
<br>traditional areas of sociolinguists: regional or social variation,
<br>stylistic or situational variation, ethnic or other cultural
<br>variation, changes in names or naming practices over time, the
<br>pragmatics of naming. Manuscripts submitted for this special issue
<br>should be empirical rather than philosophical and should be based
<br>upon original or existing research.
<br>
<br>Potential contributors should send a proposal of one or two
<br>paragraphs describing the paper as soon as convenient to:
<br>
<br>Edward Callary, Editor, NAMES
<br>English Department
<br>Northern Illinois University
<br>DeKalb IL 60115
<br>
<br>proposals by email are welcome. send to:
<br>
<br>TB0EXC1[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE]MVS.CSO.NIU.EDU
<br>
<br>make sure that's a zero after the TB and a letter o after
<br>the cs.
<br>
<br>NAMES, now in its 46th year of continuous publication, is a fully-
<br>refereed journal; manuscripts of articles are read and evaluated
<br>anonymously by at least two qualified scholars. Although sponsored
<br>by the American Name Society, membership in the society is not
<br>required for publication.
