Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that the 7th edition of the International Conference on Historical Lexicography and Lexicology will be held in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, July 9-11, 2014, and will be hosted by the Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
ICHLL is a biennial tradition and provides scholars from different institutions an opportunity to gather and share their research on the history of the dictionary, the making of historical dictionaries, and historical lexicology. Previous conferences have been held at Leicester (2002), Gargnano del Garda (2004), Leiden (2006), Edmonton (2008), Oxford (2010) and Jena (2012).

Faculty, graduate students, and independent scholars are invited to submit abstracts for oral presentations or posters. Presentations will 20 minutes in length, followed by a 10-minute discussion period. There will also be specific sessions for poster presentations. Papers can be delivered in English, Spanish or French. Proposals to ICHLL 2014 may be on a broad range of topics and disciplinary approaches to historical lexicography, historical lexicology and historical dictionary research (each of which can include the present).

Abstracts should be submitted electronically as an e-mail attachment (as Word or .rtf files) to ichll2014@ulpgc.es. Abstracts should be between 200-250 words excluding bibliography, and written in a standard 12-point font (Times New Roman). The page should be headed only by the title of the paper, and the abstract should contain no self-identification. The accompanying e-mail should include the author's name and institutional affiliation; title of the paper; and a final statement as to whether the proposal is intended for oral presentation or a poster session.

The deadline for submission of abstracts will be Thursday, October 31, 2013, and notification about acceptance of papers will be issued by Tuesday 10, December 2013. All abstracts will undergo anonymous review.
