Subject:CFP:Volume on language phenomena related to Arab revolutions

Dear Colleagues,

I am currently working with a major publisher on producing an edited volume
on the various language-related phenomena attending the Arab revolutions.
If you are interested in contributing a paper to this volume, please send
me a one page abstract summarizing your topic, basic proposition(s),
research data, and expected conclusions. The central theme of this volume
is language, so all proposals need to maintain thematic relevance by
exploring the various ways the revolts have impacted the Arabic language
(or other languages if a case can be made). Fields of investigation are
open, however, and include linguistics, communication, orthography,
semiotics, discourse analysis, translation studies, etc. This will be a
peer-reviewed work, so research rigor is expected. Papers are expected to
be about 10,000 words on average. Please send your proposal to me, Muhamed
Osman Al Khalil, at muhamed.alkhalil at nyu.edu .

Kind regards,

Muhamed Osman Al Khalil, Ph.D.
Director of Arabic Studies
New York University Abu Dhabi
