WRITTEN ARABIC, WRITING ARABIC: CALL FOR PAPERS
Dear Colleagues,
We are very pleased to invite you to contribute to the First International
Conference on Written Arabic, which will be held from 19 to 21 June
2012 at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem.

The First International Conference on Written Arabic is intended to
establish a new framework for discussing a wide range of linguistic and
stylistic aspects of written Arabic, e.g., orthography (and pronunciation
of the text), morphology, micro-syntax and macro-syntax, discourse
analysis, style and literary and semi-literary genres. Participants will,
it is hoped, include specialists of different periods and different
varieties of Arabic. We believe that an interdisciplinary approach to these
topics, transecting the traditional fields in the research of Arabic and
studying and dealing with Arabic “without adjectives”,  will enhance our
knowledge of the patterns of development of written Arabic, the distinct
features defining each variety and the solid features  that are present
throughout the cultural continuum of writing Arabic.

The new framework for the study of written Arabic is a joint international
project: the first conference at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, will be
followed by a second conference at Roma Tre University, Rome.
Colleagues who wish to give a paper are requested to send a tentative title
and an abstract (250 words), no later than  10 March 2012, to:

writtenarabic at mail.huji.ac.il

Papers may be given in English, French or Arabic and are allotted 20 min.
followed by 10 min. discussion. Presentation of ongoing projects as well as
final results of a research project are welcome. PhD students and young
researchers are warmly invited to contribute.

A final list of contributors, abstracts and the general schedule will be
published on the conference website in April 2012. All information on
transportation and accommodation will also be found there.
Organizers:
Prof. Giuliano Lancioni
Prof. Gabriel M. Rosenbaum
Mrs. Michal Marmorstein
Mr. Guy Ron-Gilboa
