Meeting Description:

Universidad Don Bosco,
San Salvador, El Salvador
August 28, 29 and 30, 2017

The Central American Linguistic Association (Spanish acronym ACALING) was
founded in 2009 in Costa Rica. It has become the main venue for linguists
doing research on the  languages spoken in the isthmus, including Spanish and
Caribbean Coastal Creoles. The main goal of ACALING is to promote research and
revitalization projects on the languages of Central America, and to foster
academic cooperation between local and  non-Central America scholars.

ACALING hosts a biennial international conference; the first three took place
in Guatemala in 2011 (at Universidad Rafael Landívar), in Honduras in 2013 (at
UNAH) and in Nicaragua in 2015 (at UNAN-Managua). The IV Conference will be
held in El Salvador; its aims are to deepen the knowledge of the indigenous
and creole languages of the region (or beyond with some link to them, e.g.
Aztec, or Arawakan) through descriptive and analytic studies; it also welcomes
papers dealing with revitalization strategies. As for Hispanic Linguistics,
the conference invites papers dealing with structural and typological
analyses, which transcend the historically self-imposed approaches that
revolve around phonetic variation, lexical inventories and  the never-ending 
division of the continent in questionable dialectological zones.
