We are pleased to invite you to participate to the conference 'ArCo 2014 -
Arabic in Contact. Linguistic and Sociolinguistic Perspectives', due to be

Conference Outline:

Contact linguistics represents an area linking different branches of
linguistics, such as historical linguistics, dialectology,
sociolinguistics, creole studies, language acquisition, etc. This
conference strives to provide a comprehensive coverage of current trends on
language contact involving Arabic. It does address both contact induced
change in Arabic and language change through contact with Arabic. Special
focus is on recent debates surrounding Arabic-based pidgins and creoles as
well as mixed varieties of written Arabic.
