In addition, the Handbook is the official program for the 2009 Annual Meetings of the American Dialect Society (ADS), the American Name Society (ANS), the North American Association for the History of the Language Sciences (NAAHoLS), the Society for Pidgin and Creole Linguistics (SPCL), and the Society for the Study of the Indigenous Languages of the Americas (SSILA). We gratefully acknowledge the assistance provided by the LSA Program Committee: Co-Chairs: Chris Kennedy and Larry Horn Members: Sharon Inkelas, Jeff Lidz, Eric Potsdam, Keren Rice, Sali Tagliamonte, and Raffaella Zanuttini. This year, the Program Committee received ten preliminary proposals for organized sessions, of which eight were accepted for presentation. The Committee received 535 individual abstracts, the second highest number of submissions in the history of the Annual Meeting. Of these, 222 were accepted for presentation as 20-minute papers, and 80 were accepted for presentation as posters. All individual abstracts were reviewed anonymously. This year, each abstract was reviewed by the Program Committee and at least two additional reviewers drawn from a panel of 75 subfield experts. The LSA Secretariat and Program Committee extend sincere thanks to these external reviewers: Barbara Abbott Daniel Büring Pauline Jacobson Joseph Sabbagh John Alderete Michael Cahill Elsi Kaiser Ivan Sag Raul Aranovich Richard Cameron Andy Kehler Bonnie Schwartz Karlos Arregi Greg Carlson Paul Kroeger Scott Schwenter Ash Asudeh Andrew Carnie Rochelle Lieber Yael Sharvit Julie Auger Gennaro Chiercia Robert Malouf Carmen Silva- Eric Bakovic Stuart Davis Norma Mendoza- Corvalan David Basilico Marcel den Dikken Denton Andrew Simpson Robert Bayley Marianna Di Paolo Jeff Mielke Peter Svenonius John Beavers Stanley Dubinsky Carol Neidle Adam Ussishkin Misha Becker Hana Filip Andrew Nevins Gerard Van Herk Jill Beckman Lyn Frazier Lynn Nichols Matthew Wagers Betty Birner John Goldsmith Nancy Niedzielski James Walker Renee Blake Grant Goodall Jaye Padgett Rachel Walker Jonathan Bobaljik Sharon Hargus Colin Phillips Tom Wasow Claire Bowern Alice Harris Jason Riggle Tracey Weldon Diane Brentari Irene Heim Craige Roberts Susanne Wurmbrand Chris Brew Gabriella Hermon Sharon Rose Alan Yu George Broadwell Junko Ito Jeffrey Runner We are also grateful to David Boe (NAAHoLS), Ivy Doak (SSILA), Rocky Meade (SPCL), Allan Metcalf (ADS), and Priscilla Ord (ANS) for their cooperation.
