Special Session on Afroasiatic Linguistics 

The Berkeley Linguistics Society is pleased to announce a special session
on Afroasiatic Linguistics to be held in conjunction with the 32nd Annual

Berkeley on March 22-25 2001. 

We encourage submissions dealing with any aspect of the Afroasiatic 
languages of Africa, including descriptive works on less well documented 
languages, theoretical works on a specific language, and historical and
comparative works on Afroasiatic and its various subgroupings with
particular emphasis on those groups which have received the least 
attention. We also encourage submissions from various theoretical
perspectives and works in any linguistic subfield (phonetics, morphology,
syntax, semantics, sociolinguistics, etc.).
