Linguistic Field(s): History of Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 07-May-2010 

Meeting Description:

This conference is designed to bring together Arabists, specialists in linguistics 
and research students to explore the foundations of the Arabic linguistic 
tradition and its development. It will focus particularly on the tradition's 
understanding of the nature and role of language as a medium of knowledge 
and communication. The conference will also offer a special session on the 
hotly debated issue of possible foreign influences in the formative stage of 
Arab linguistics. The five linguistic traditions under discussion will be Hebrew, 
Persian, Syriac, Greek and Sanskrit. The perspectives on language across 
these traditions, and the similarities and/or differences between them will form 
the focus of the session. 

Call for Papers

Potential participants are invited to suggest papers which highlight and 
analyse traditions, approaches, or frameworks either formal or functional, or 
explore new avenues for research in the field. Abstracts must be no longer 
than 250 words and should be submitted by e-mail. Applicants will be notified 
by e-mail whether their abstract has been accepted by 15th May, 2010.

administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company
