ARABIC-L: Call for Papers, NACAL 35 (2007)

[C.G. Häberl]

Papers are solicited for the 35th annual meeting of the North American
Conference on Afroasiatic Linguistics (NACAL 35), which will be held
in San Antonio, Texas, USA from March 16-18, 2006 (Friday-Sunday).

Papers on linguistic topics relevant to the languages of the
Afroasiatic phylum (Chadic, Berber, Cushitic, Omotic, Egyptian,
Semitic) are requested. While all topics relating to aspects of
Afroasiatic languages will be considered, including phonology,
grammar, syntax, synchrony, diachrony, sociolinguistics, and
epigraphy, the 35th meeting will be dedicated to the memory of Robert
Hetzron (1937-1997). The organizer strongly urges prospective
participants to consider submitting papers related to Hetzron's
interests, including:

• Comparative Studies
• Semantic Analysis
• Theoretical Aspects of Grammar
• Translation Studies
• Textual Analysis

These topics should be considered as general guidelines and are not
intended to be exclusive. No original paper will be rejected on
account of its subject, so long as it relates to the languages of the
Afroasiatic phylum and it meets the standards established by previous
conferences.

Abstracts describing the precise topic treated with a length of
approximately 200-300 words can be sent as an electronic version (pdf
or word document) or as a paper copy to the addresses specified on the
registration page. The deadline for submission is December 1st, 2006.
For more information, please visit our website at www.nacal.org or
contact the convener at afroasiatic at gmail.com.

Please feel free to distribute this announcement widely.
