Subject:ALS 24 Announcement and Call for Paper


24th Arabic Linguistics Symposium:  “Arabic Linguistics across  
Traditions”
University of Texas, Austin
April 9-11, 2010

Call for Papers

The Arabic Linguistics Society and the University of Texas at Austin  
are pleased to announce the Twenty-Fourth Annual Symposium on Arabic  
Linguistics to be held at the University of Texas, Austin, April 9-11,  
2010.

Papers are invited on topics that deal with theoretic and applied  
issues of Arabic Linguistics. Research in the following areas of  
Arabic linguistics is encouraged: grammatical analysis (phonology,  
morphology, syntax, semantics), applied linguistics, socio- 
linguistics, psycholinguistics, discourse analysis, historical  
linguistics, corpus linguistics, computational linguistics, etc.

This year’s theme will be  “Arabic Linguistics across Traditions.”   
Submissions that compare or combine two traditions, approaches, or  
analytic frameworks are especially encouraged.  The conference will  
also offer a special session on Formal and Functional Approaches to  
Syntax featuring papers that either (1) compare two or more syntactic  
analyses to a problem or (2)  present a solution to a syntactic  
problem using a particular approach that other approaches are unable  
to solve.  The goal of this session is to discuss the various  
approaches to syntactic analysis with a general linguist audience.

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 PDF email attachment  
(all fonts embedded) to:

  mustafa.mughazy at wmich.edu

Presenters’ names should not appear on the abstracts.   Rather, the  
author's name, title and affiliation, and return email address should  
be included in the body of the email message. It will be removed  
before being forwarded to the review committee.

Deadline for Receipt of Abstracts: November 15, 2009

2009 ALS membership dues of $25 and conference fees of $50 (total $75)  
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.

Conference Registration Fees:
Before March 1, 2010: $35 for students and $50 for non-students.
 From March 1, 2010: $45 for students and $60 for non-students.
