Meeting Description:

A tribute to André Basset

Berber was first taught at INALCO in 1913.  Ever since, a lot of people have
had the honor to contribute to the transmission of this language to students.
André Basset was one of them. His career began in a Berber territory, namely,
at the Faculté des Lettres d'Alger. It was only in 1940 that he came to work
for l'Ecole Nationale des Langues Orientales Vivantes (ex-INALCO), where he
took over from Edmond Destaing. André Basset's studies significantly
contributed to Berber linguistics, being the first to have introduced the
methods of modern linguistic. Berber studies are indebted for the work of this
great Berber researcher. Indeed, some linguistic descriptions of Berber
varieties by André Basset, are the only accounts that we have on them.
Unfortunately, he couldn't complete his project since he died in 1956 while
still in office.

For the commemoration of the sixtieth anniversary of André Basset's death, we
would like pay a tribute to the man and his work via a scientific conference.
This will be the first biennial international conference on Berber
linguistics. 

Organization committee:

Kamal Naït-Zerrad ( knaitzerrad at inalco.fr )
Mohamed  El Idrissi ( mohamed.elidrissi at inalco.fr )


Call for Papers: 
We invite the scholars of Berber to submit an original research paper on the
following topics : lexicology / semantics; morphosyntax; phonetics /
phonology; sociolinguistics / dialectology.

Oral presentations should last 20 minutes and will be followed by a 10 minute
session for discussion. Presentations can be either in French or in English.

The searchers would like propose a presentation must sent an abstract
comprising the title of the presentation, the first name and second name of
the contributor(s), affliliation and an email address. Please also specify on
which of the above topics the contribution will be about. The abstract should
fit in an A4 format (including a short bibliography) and be send as a pdf
file.

Abstracts must be submitted before the 30 September 2016 on the website of the
conference (see the tab : Submission procedure).

The abstracts will be assessed and selected by the scientific committee.
Notification of acceptance : 30 October 2016.

Selected presentations will be published in the Revue des Etudes Berbères.
