Subject:GURT 2010 on Arabic Linguistics

Dear Colleagues,
I am very happy to announce that the Georgetown University round table  
conference next year will be about Arabic linguistics.  I will send a  
call for papers soon.  In the meantime here are some of the topics  
covered in the conference.

GURT 2010 11-14th March 2010
Arabic, one of the official languages of the United Nations, spoken by  
more than half a billion people around the world, is of increasing  
importance in political and economic spheres.  The study of the Arabic  
language has a long and rich history:  earliest grammatical accounts  
date from the 8th century, and included full syntactic, morphological  
and phonological analyses of both the spoken dialects and classical  
Arabic- the religious language of the Quran and the language of  
poetry.  In recent years the academic study of Arabic has become  
increasingly sophisticated and broad.
We invite researchers engaged in the analysis of Arabic to share  
original research in areas of Arabic language study, including but not  
limited to:
o Syntax, Semantics, Morphology, Phonology and Phonetics.
o Computational analysis
o Historical analysis
o Sociolinguistics
o Anthropological linguistics
o Discourse Analysis
o Teaching and Learning of Arabic
The following pre-conference workshops will also be offered:
1- Arabic language teaching
2- Arabic computational linguistics
3- Arabic language policies and planning.
