Second Call For Papers


The Arabic Linguistics Society,
The University of Utah and
Brigham Young University

announce the

Fifteenth Annual Symposium on
Arabic Linguistics

to be held at

The University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah

March 2-3 2001

Keynote Speaker: Stuart Davis, University of Indiana at Bloomington
Keynote Address: The Controversy over the Grammatical Status of Root
Consonants

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, etc.

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 authors 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 the abstract; instead, a 3x5 card with the  above information
should be enclosed. Twenty minutes will be allowed for each  presentation.

2000 ALS membership dues ($20 faculty, $15 students) and conference fees
($25 preregistered) are to be submitted with all abstracts and must be
received by the abstract deadline. Membership dues are non-refundable;
conference fees are refundable, if requested, only to those whose papers
are not accepted.
