Meeting Description:

Contact linguistics represents an area linking different branches of
linguistics, such as historical linguistics, dialectology, sociolinguistics,
creole studies, language acquisition, etc. This conference strives to
provide
a comprehensive coverage of current trends on language contact involving
Arabic. It does address both contact induced change in Arabic and language
change through contact with Arabic. Special focus is on recent debates
surrounding Arabic-based pidgins and creoles as well as mixed varieties of
written Arabic.


Call for Papers:

Abstracts are invited for conference presentations addressing any aspect
concerning Arabic in contact. Abstracts shall be in English or in French
and no longer than 500 words, including examples and references. Abstracts
should show evidence of interest for a broad audience interested in Arabic
linguistics as well as in contact linguistics. All abstracts will be
reviewed anonymously and they will be evaluated on the basis of clarity,
argumentation and potential contribution to advancing linguists' knowledge
of Arabic in contact. Accepted papers will be proposed for a collective
publication.

We welcome contributions focusing on:

- The grammatical and lexical outcomes of language contact in Arabic
- The grammatical and lexical outcomes of language contact with Arabic
- The linguistic and sociolinguistic aspects of Arabic-based pidgins and
creoles
- The linguistic and sociolinguistic aspects of codeswitching involving
Arabic varieties
- The linguistic and sociolinguistic aspects of Arabic in diaspora
- The metalinguistic representations and the sociolinguistic awareness of
Arabic contact varieties
- Acquisition of Arabic as L2
- Mixed varieties of written Arabic

Contributions on language contact involving Arabic in Africa are especially
welcome.

A suggested outline for abstracts is as follows:

1. Choose a title that clearly indicates the topic of the paper and is no
more than one line long.
2. In the abstract, make reference to prior work on the topic.
3. When essential to the clarity of the argumentation, present linguistic
data and gloss them using the Leipzig Glossing Conventions and explaining
any supplementary glosses.
4. State the relevance of your hypothesis to past work. Describe the
analysis in as much detail as possible.
5. Citation of the relevant literature is essential within the abstract.
However, the inclusion of a list of references at the end of the abstract
is not required.
