Special Issue: Arabic-Amazigh language contact phenomena
The International Journal of Arabic Linguistics (IJAL) is launching a series
of special issues dedicated to particular topics. The special issue will not
replace the regular ones, which will continue to appear twice a year (i.e. end
of June and end of December). 
IJAL welcomes contributions to its forthcoming special issue (to appear in
2018) on Amazigh (Berber)-Arabic language contact phenomena, focusing
particularly on the Amazigh influence on Arabic. The issue will be edited by
Karim Bensoukas and Ahmed Ech-charfi. 
In North African countries, Amazigh and Arabic have been in contact for some
13 centuries. This situation has led to the co-existing languages' displaying
various language contact phenomena, ranging over the most straightforward case
of lexical borrowing to more intricate cases of prosodic, morphosyntactic and
syntactic structural interference. There are at least two interesting
offshoots of this contact. First,Arabic varieties have emerged that are
substantially different from eastern Arabic ones and that exhibit behavior
that can only be comprehended if the Amazigh substratum is taken into
consideration. Second is the development of areal linguistic phenomena,
elucidation of which is made all the more difficult by the fact that Amazigh
and Arabic are also members of the same larger language family, i.e.
Afro-Asiatic. 
Papers are welcome that address the role of Amazigh linguistics in a better
understanding of long-standing phenomena in Arabic linguistics. Also welcome
are descriptions and analyses of novel substratal and areal linguistic
phenomena. Papers cover phonology (featural and prosodic), morphology proper,
morphosyntax, syntax proper, and the lexicon. Papers may be written in English
or French.
Contributions should be emailed before December 31st to:
