The aim of this international conference is to provide a forum for academic and scholarly exchange on the linguistics of the Arabic language family, for researchers from across Europe and the Middle East, and beyond. The Arabic Linguistics Forum welcomes the submission of abstracts in all areas of Arabic linguistics: phonetics, phonology, syntax, semantics, morphology, dialectology, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, conversation analysis, historical linguistics, language acquisition, psycholinguistics, computational linguistics, and applied linguistics.
This year, the University of Leeds will hold a pre-Forum study-day on the Arabic dialects of the Arabian Peninsula, on June 30th, 2020. On this day, Marijn Van Putten (Leiden University) and Barry Haselwood (University of Leeds) will be in conversation on phonation (title TBC).
Abstracts are also invited for the pre-Forum workshop; however, they must consider Peninsular varieties only in all areas of Linguistics. It is possible to submit two abstracts both for the pre-Forum study-day and the conference, but please specify in the document for which of the two you are submitting to.
Notification of abstract acceptance is issued by March 20th, 2020.
