Subject:Revised deadlines for Arabic in "Arab Spring" CFP

Dear Colleagues,

I am currently working with Georgetown University Press on producing an
edited volume on the various language-related phenomena attending the Arab
revolutions. If you are interested in contributing a paper/chapter to this
volume, please send me a one page abstract summarizing your topic, basic
proposition(s), research basis, 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 . Deadline for
proposal consideration is Jan 31, 2012. Submission deadline for finished
papers will be July 31, 2012.

Kind regards,

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