Subject:ALS 2003 Call For Papers (Alexandria)

We are excited to announce that the 2003 Arabic Linguistic Society 
Meetings will be held in Alexandria, Egypt.  Note that the conference 
will be moved from our normal time in early March to the second week of 
May.  We are hoping that this will allow more non-Middle Eastern based 
participants to attend, and will give them a little more flexibility 
with their schedules if they would like to stay in the Middle East 
longer than the conference.  We also hope it will increase participation 
from our colleagues based in the Middle East.

Call for Papers

The Arabic Linguistics Society,
Alexandria University

announce the

Seventeenth Annual Symposium on
Arabic Linguistics

to be held at the

Cecil Hotel
Alexandria, Egypt

May 9-10, 2003

Papers are invited on topics that deal with the application of current 
linguistic theories and analyses to Arabic. Research in the following 
areas of Arabic linguistics is encouraged: grammatical analysis 
(phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics), sociolinguistics, 
psycholinguistics, discourse analysis, historical linguistics, corpus 
linguistics, computer modeling, etc.  Papers in Arabic pedagogy will 
normally not be considered.

Persons interested in presenting papers are requested to submit a 
one-page abstract giving the title of the paper, a brief statement of 
the topic, and a summary clearly stating how the topic will be developed 
(the reasoning, data, or experimental results to be presented). Authors 
are requested to be as specific as possible in describing their topics. 
Abstracts should be submitted by e-mail, where possible. The top lines 
of the message should contain the author’s name, affiliation, address, 
phone number, e-mail address, and the title of the paper.  The body of 
the abstract should then follow after 4 blank lines. The heading will be 
omitted before it is sent to the members of the paper selection 
committee. Please do not send attachments. If submitted by mail, both a 
disk copy and a hard copy are to be included. Names are not to appear on 
printed abstracts; instead, a 3x5 card with the above information should 
be enclosed. Twenty minutes will be allowed for each presentation.

2003 ALS membership dues ($25 faculty, $20 students) and conference fees 
($50 preregistered) are to be submitted with all abstracts and must be 
received by the abstract deadline.  Special financial arrangements will 
be made for local students and scholars.  Membership dues are 
non-refundable; conference fees are refundable, if requested, only to 
those whose papers are not accepted.
