Meeting Description:

The year 2013 marks the 400th anniversary of Leiden’s chair in Arabic
Language and Culture. To celebrate this memorable event, the Leiden
Institute for Area Studies and the Leiden University Centre for Linguistics
will convene a conference that will bring together Arabicists, Semiticists,
historians, and epigraphists to discuss original research on the pre- and
early history of Arabic.

Professor John Huehnergard (University of Texas, Austin) will deliver the
keynote address entitled ‘Arabic in its Semitic Context.’

The rest of the congress details will be available (via the conference
website) late September 2013.

Call for Papers:

The papers presented at this congress will be published in a volume
commemorating this important anniversary. It is hoped that the 400th year
of Arabic at Leiden will mark an important contribution to our
understanding of Arabic in its earliest stages.

We invite submissions on all topics dealing with the relationship between
Arabic and other the Semitic and Afro-Asiatic languages. We especially
encourage interdisciplinary approaches that combine the fields of
linguistics/philology and history to shed light on problems such as the
distribution of Arabic epigraphy, the development of the Arabic script, the
language of the Qur’an, and the linguistic geography of pre-Islamic Arabic.
These topics should only be considered as general guidelines and are not
exhaustive. Any paper dealing with Arabic in its historical and linguistic
context will be considered.

We welcome abstracts for papers (not exceeding 2 pages) before 15 August
2013. Please do not forget to mention your institutional affiliation.

Successful applicants will be informed early September 2013.

Participants must register in order to take part in the conference. The
registration fee is 50 euro. Meals and drinks will be provided for on both
congress days.

Please submit your abstracts and any questions you may have to congress
convener, Ahmad Al-Jallad, PhD: a.m.al-jallad at hum.leienuniv.nl.
