Subject:Foundations of Arabic Linguistics II Conference

Encouraged by the great success of the first Foundations of Arabic Linguistics Conference (FAL1), I am pleased to announce the Second Conference on the Foundations of Arabic Linguistics (FAL2). The conference will focus on the reception, transmission and interpretation of Kitab Sibawayhi past and present.

Date: 13th & 14th September 2012
Venue: Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies (University of Cambridge)

Keynote speakers: Professor Kees Versteegh and Professor M.G. Carter

The conference is interdisciplinary. It intends to bring together Arabists, specialists in linguistics and research students to engage in a dialogue with the aim of creating a framework to promote scholarship and provide a forum for the discussion of the influence exercised by the Kitāb on shaping the entire tradition of Arab linguistics as well as defining the way linguistic traditions in contact perceived and approached language and communication.

The sessions will deal with the Kitāb’s legacy and its fundamental role in defining the Arab grammatical tradition. Papers highlighting any analytical or linguistic aspect of the Kitāb, its šurūḥ (commentaries) or any related works by both traditional Arab grammarians and Arabists are welcome. There will be a session on Sibawayh’s contribution to the formation of other linguistic traditions in contact, mainly Persian, Syrian and Jewish.

Potential participants are invited to suggest papers which study and analyse traditions, approaches or frameworks, either formal or functional, and explore new avenues for research in the field.
