25th Arabic Linguistics Symposium
University of Arizona, Tucson
March 4-6, 2011

The Arabic Linguistics Society and University of Arizona are pleased to announce the 25th Arabic Linguistics Symposium to be held at the University of Arizona, Tucson, March 4-6, 2011.

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: linguistic analysis (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics), applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, discourse analysis, historical linguistics, corpus linguistics, computational linguistics, etc.

Special Session: Experimental and field method approaches to Arabic dialect analysis
Until recently, contemporary linguistic theories have been developed and tested, for ideological or expeditious reasons,  based on research conducted using data drawn primarily from Classical, Media  or Literary Arabic;  a written language with no native speakers. This partiality to Standard/Classical Arabic coupled with generative theory-internal approaches to secondary dialectal data analysis yielded a great void in linguistic research employing experimental and field method approaches based on primary data. This special session aims to celebrate the richness and diversity of regional Arabic, as well as the variety of methodological approaches to primary data collection. The session invites papers on any aspect of Arabic dialect analysis, including gender or ethnic based variation, processing, acquisition, revitalization of endangered varieties, dialect typology, corpus linguistics, forensic linguistics, and clinical linguistics.

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Sabah M.Z. Safi, King Abdulaziz University


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, and experimental results to be presented). Authors are requested to be as specific as possible in describing their topics. Abstracts should be submitted by e-mail as pdf attachments (all fonts embedded) to:

mustafa.mughazy at wmich.edu<mailto:mustafa.mughazy at wmich.edu>

Authors’ names are not to appear anywhere in the abstracts. Instead, the author’s name, email address, postal address, and phone number should be included in the body of the email message. Please specify if the abstract is for the general or specific session.

Twenty minutes will be allowed for each presentation followed by ten minutes for discussion.
