Georgetown University Round Table 2010

 

Arabic Language and Linguistics, March 12 - 14

 

Conference Theme

Arabic, one of the official languages of the United Nations and spoken by more than half a billion people around the world, is of increasing importance in political and economic spheres. The study of the Arabic language has a long and rich history: Earliest grammatical accounts date from the 8th century, and included full syntactic, morphological and phonological analyses of the vernaculars and of Classical and Modern Standard Arabic -- the religious language of the Quran and the language of poetry. In recent years the academic study of Arabic has become increasingly sophisticated and broad. 

 

We invite proposals for presentations related to the Arabic Language and Linguistics conference themes:

* Syntax, Semantics, Morphology, Phonology and Phonetics

* Computational analysis

* Historical analysis

* Sociolinguistics

* Anthropological linguistics

* Discourse Analysis

* Teaching and Learning of Arabic

 

Presentation formats include:

(1) Colloquia: Scheduled for 2-hour blocks. Colloquium organizers may organize as they choose, but time should be allocated for opening and closing remarks, presentations, discussion and audience response. Organizers serve as the liaison between participants and the conference organizers. Organizers may choose to participate in the panel as a presenter or discussant.

 

(2) Individual papers: 20 minutes long with a 10-minute discussion period.

 

(3) Poster presentations: displayed for a 2-hour block of time; an opportunity to report on work in progress in one-on-one discussions.

 

Submission deadline November 15, 2009. Notification of proposal acceptance: December 15, 2009. A prize will be awarded to the best student presentation or poster; no separate application is needed.
