Arabic Planning Laboratory is pleased to announce that its first international
conference about Comparative Arabic Linguistics will be convened on the 6th and
7th of May 2008, at Ibn Tofail University. The conference seeks to present
syntactic, semantic, phonological and lexical studies of Arabic within its

The first international conference of Arabic Planning Laboratory:
Comparative Arabic Linguistics

The conference offers a highly developed framework for the study of linguistic
variation, both across adjacent dialects (micro-variation) and across closely
related languages in terms of different linguistic patterns that diverge, to
some extent, typologically and historically (macro-variation).
The conference devotes a special workshop to theoretical and applied linguistics
studies engaged in computational linguistics and lexicography. 
A concise abstract with a list of references (written in Arabic, English or
French) are to be sent before the 29th of February 2008 to one of the following
addresses:
