Meeting Description:
The North American Conference on Afroasiatic Linguistics (NACAL) provides scholars from North America and around the world with a venue to discuss the Afroasiatic language phylum. Now in its 35th year, NACAL has held annual meetings since 1973. Meetings are held in tandem with the annual meeting of the American Oriental Society, which shares a joint session with NACAL. Previous meetings have been held in Ann Arbor, Austin, Baltimore, Boston, Cambridge, Chicago, Los Angeles, Nashville, New Haven, San Diego, Seattle, Toronto, and several other cities in the United States and Canada.
Papers are solicited for the 35th annual meeting of the North American Conference on Afroasiatic Linguistics (NACAL 35), which will be held in San Antonio, Texas, USA from March 16-18, 2006 (Friday-Sunday).
Papers on linguistic topics relevant to the languages of the Afroasiatic phylum (Chadic, Berber, Cushitic, Omotic, Egyptian, Semitic) are requested. While all topics relating to aspects of Afroasiatic languages will be considered, including phonology, grammar, syntax, synchrony, diachrony, sociolinguistics, and epigraphy, the 35th meeting will be dedicated to the memory of Robert Hetzron (1937-1997). The organizer strongly urges prospective participants to consider submitting papers related to Hetzron's interests, including:
- Comparative Studies, - Semantic Analysis, - Theoretical Aspects of Grammar, - Translation Studies, - Textual Analysis.
These topics should be considered as general guidelines and are not intended to be exclusive. No original paper will be rejected on account of its subject, so long as it relates to the languages of the Afroasiatic phylum and it meets the standards established by previous conferences.
Abstracts describing the precise topic treated with a length of approximately 200-300 words can be sent as an electronic version (pdf or word document) or as a paper copy to the addresses specified on the registration page. The deadline for submission is December 1st, 2006. For more information, please visit our website at www.nacal.org.
Please feel free to distribute this announcement widely.
