Al-ʽArabiyya: Call for submissions for Volume 48, 2015

Al-ʽArabiyya, the journal of the American Association of Teachers of
Arabic, is a leading journal in the field of Arabic language and
linguistics. Al-ʽArabiyya welcomes scholarly and pedagogical articles, and
book reviews that contribute to the advancement of study, criticism,
research, and teaching in the fields of Arabic language, linguistics, and
literature. We also consider responses and comments on articles published
in previous issues.

To be considered for the next issue, submissions are due August 15, by
8:00PM EST. We consider submissions year round and we may accept a
submission for the following issue if received after August 15. We do not
accept simultaneous submissions.

Please address all correspondence regarding submissions to:

Karin C. Ryding, editor
Al-Arabiyya Journal
c/o Georgetown University Press
3240 Prospect St. NW
Washington, D.C. 20007
email: aataeditor at aataweb.org

General guidelines
Authors are encouraged to present an original, scholarly contribution, a
perceptive restructuring of existing knowledge, or a discussion of an idea
with information and references on how to learn more about the topic.
References should be appropriately and sufficiently extensive, and
demonstrative of comprehensive awareness of international scholarship.
Conclusions drawn should be accurate, appropriately documented, and soundly
argued, without being overextended.
The material should be well-organized and the writing style fluent and
professional. We respectfully require that authors writing in a language
other than their native language have their contribution carefully checked
by a native speaker before submission. Previously published pieces or those
being considered for publication elsewhere should not be submitted.
Authors alone are responsible for the opinions they express and for the
accuracy of facts presented in their articles.

The journal welcomes translations and bibliographies, provided they meet
Al-ʽArabiyya guidelines. Translations should be scholarly and accompanied
by an introduction or critical essay, annotations, and commentaries.
Bibliographies should also be annotated, critical, and accompanied by an
appropriate introduction. Translations and bibliographies are subject to
the same review process as articles.

Book reviews are 500–1,000 words in length, and are commissioned by the
book review editor. If you would like to propose a review, please contact
the book review editor, Gregory Bell, directly:
aatabookrevieweditor at aataweb.org.   Reviews of current and recently
published textbooks are particularly welcome. The journal also considers
review articles, which are approximately 1,500 words in length, double
spaced. Review articles treat a major work or works in the field as judged
by the editor and the book review editor. Please propose a review article
to the book review editor or the editor prior to submission.

Submission procedures
The overall length of articles should be appropriate to the material
treated and should not exceed 7,000 words (no more than 25 pp. in Times New
Roman, 12 pt., double spaced).

Articles with examples in transliterated/transcribed Arabic must use Doulos
SIL (available free: http://tinyurl.com/AATA-Translit-Font) for those
transcriptions/transliterations. It is acceptable to include appropriate
tables, figures, and illustrations but, upon acceptance, it is the author’s
responsibility to provide high-resolution, digital versions of each, as
well as permission (if necessary) for their use. The journal follows the
Chicago Manual of Style, 16th edition, and submissions should, too. Cited
forms (letters, morphemes, words, phrases, or sentences) should appear in
italics, e.g., the prefix bi-, the word dars. Italics are not used for
forms marked as being in phonemic or phonetic transcription, e.g., /sabt/,
[sapt]. The meaning of cited forms should appear in single quotation marks,
with no comma before it, e.g. walad ‘boy.’ Additional formatting
requirements may be requested, if preparing for publication.

Articles in Arabic will be considered and must be submitted using SIL’s
Scheherazade font
(available free: http://tinyurl.com/AATA-Arabic-Font).

Submissions are only accepted by email attachment. Please attach both a PDF
version and an original MS Word document. Number all pages consecutively in
the upper right-hand corner. Include an abstract in English of
approximately 100 to 150 words at the beginning of the article.

To aid the blind review process: Remove author’s name and identifying
remarks from the article. Include a cover sheet with: author’s name,
mailing address, email address, telephone number, academic affiliation, and
title of the article. For submissions with multiple authors, include all
authors’ information on the cover sheet.

Articles will not be returned to contributors.
