Subject: Al-Arabiyya CFP

Al-cArabiyya:  Call for papers, Volume 44 (2011)
 
Deadline:  01 October 2011
 
General:  Al-cArabiyya, a leading journal in the field of Arabic language and linguistics, welcomes scholarly and pedagogical articles, as well as reviews which contribute to the advancement of study, criticism, research, and teaching in the fields of Arabic language, linguistics, and literature. Authors are encouraged to present an original, scholarly contribution, a perceptive restructuring of existing knowledge, or a discussion of an idea with information and references on how to learn more about the topic. References should be appropriately and sufficiently extensive and demonstrative of comprehensive awareness of international scholarship; the conclusions drawn should be accurate, appropriately documented, and soundly argued, without being overextended.
 
The overall length of the article should be appropriate to the material treated and should not exceed 7,000 words (no more than 25 pp. in Times New Roman, 12 pt.).  The material should be well organized and the writing style fluent and professional. Articles in Arabic are welcome. We respectfully request that all authors writing in a language other than their native language have their contribution carefully checked by a native speaker before submission.  Do not submit a piece that has been published elsewhere or is being considered for publication elsewhere. Authors alone are responsible for the opinions they express and for the accuracy of facts presented in their articles.
 
Each article is sent to at least two consultant readers for author-anonymous evaluation before a final decision is made. Responses and comments concerning articles published in previous issues will also be considered for publication. Such responses may, at the discretion of the editor, be published under “Brief Communications.”
 
The journal also welcomes translations and bibliographies, provided they meet the following guidelines: translations should be scholarly, accompanied by an introduction or critical essay, annotations, commentaries, etc. Bibliographies should also be annotated, critical, and accompanied by an appropriate introduction. Translations and bibliographies are subject to the same review process as articles.
 
Submission:  Deadline for Volume 44 (2011) is 01 October 2011.
 
Manuscripts should be submitted in duplicate, whether in hard copy or electronic format. For electronic submission (e.g., by email attachment), please attach both a PDF version and the original file (e.g., an MS Word document). For hard copy submission, all copies must be typed or printed on 8–1/2 x 11 inch or A4 paper, on one side only, double-spaced throughout. Leave at least one-inch margins on all four sides. Number the pages in the upper right-hand corner. The author’s identity should not be revealed in the manuscript or electronic files; instead, a cover sheet or the body of the email message should include: the author’s name, address (post and email), telephone number, academic affiliation, and the title of the article.
 
Articles will not be returned to contributors. An electronic copy is normally required if a hard copy manuscript is accepted for publication. An abstract in English of approximately 100 to 150 words should appear at the beginning of the article.
 
Typeface: Use italics only for cited linguistic forms, for titles of books and journals, and for subsection headings. Use small capitals, where essential, to give emphasis to a word, phrase, or sentence, or to mark the first occurrence of a technical term.
 
Footnotes. Wherever possible, limit notes to simple and brief internal references within parentheses. Footnotes may be used when necessary.
 
References. Full citation of references should be given at the end of an article. Within the text give the author’s surname, year of publication, and page number(s), where relevant, e.g. Said (1978:31). Such citations should be given in the body of the text, unless they refer specifically to a statement made in a footnote.
 
The bibliography should be double-spaced, under the heading: REFERENCES. Only works cited in the text should be listed. Use the following examples as a guide:
 
Barlow, Michael, and Charles A. Ferguson, eds. 1988. Agreement in Natural Language: Approaches, theories, descriptions. Stanford: Center for the Study of Language and Information.
 
Blanc, Haim. 1960. Stylistic Variations in Spoken Arabic: A sample of interdialectal educated
conversation. In Contributions to Arabic Linguistics, Charles Ferguson (ed.), 79–161. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press.
 
Blau, Joshua. 1977. The Beginning of the Arabic Diglossia: A study of the origin of Neo-Arabic.
            Afroasiatic Linguistics 4 (4):1–28.
 
Bloch, Ariel. 1967. Morphological Doublets in Arabic Dialects. Zeitschrift der deutschen
            morgenländischen Gesellschaft 117:53–73.
 
Transliteration/Transcription. Use an accepted or conventional system for transliteration or transcription, as appropriate, and use it consistently.  We suggest Doulos SIL fonts (see http://scripts.sil.org/DoulosSILfont).
 
Proofs and copies:  Proofs of accepted manuscripts will typically be sent to the author(s) for careful review, with the response deadline indicated. Proofreading is the author’s responsibility. No extensive alterations are possible once a manuscript has been accepted for publication. Authors are responsible for obtaining written permission from the copyright holder to quote extracts or to translate a work, and for forwarding a copy of this permission to the editor.
The author (or lead author) of an article or book review receives one copy of the issue in which the contribution is published.
