CALL FOR PAPERS
ARABIC IN CONTEXT

Arabic in Context
Congress at Leiden University, The Netherlands
2 & 3 November 2013
http://400yearsarabic.weebly.com/arabic-in-context.html

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 congress that will bring together Arabicists,
Semiticists, historians, and epigraphists to discuss original research
on the pre- and early history of Arabic.

The papers presented at this congress will be published in a volume
commemorating this 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.

Program
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 (also via this
website) late September 2013.

Submissions & Timeline
*       Submissions on all topics dealing with the relationship between
Arabic and other the Semitic and Afro-Asiatic languages are welcome. 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
15th 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 Euro 50. Meals and drinks will be
provided for on both congress days.
Details on how to register will be on available on this website soon.

Please submit your abstracts (or questions) to the congress convener,
Dr. Ahmad Al-Jallad:
