Meeting Description:
NACAL offers a venue for the presentation and
discussion of original research on linguistic
topics relevant to the languages of the
Afroasiatic phylum (Chadic, Berber, Cushitic,
Omotic, Egyptian, and Semitic). Topics related
to all aspects of Afroasiatic languages,
including phonology, morphology, syntax,
comparative linguistics, sociolinguistics, and
epigraphy, will be considered. These topics
should only be considered as general guidelines
and are not intended to be exhaustive.
We are pleased to announce that the keynote
speaker for NACAL 43 will be Prof. Zygmunt
Frajzyngier. The title of his talk will be
“Afroasiatic languages: Challenges and
implications for linguistic theory.”
Call for Papers:
Submissions are solicited for the 43nd annual
meeting of the North American Conference on
Afroasiatic Linguistics (NACAL 43) to be held
at Georgetown University in Washington, DC,
from Friday, February 13, 2015 through Sunday,
February 15, 2015.
The theme for NACAL 43 is the Afroasiatic
languages’ contribution to general linguistic
research. In line with this theme, submissions
dealing with the interface between particular
Afroasiatic languages and various fields in
linguistics, specifically in the way these
languages deepen our understanding of general
phenomena in human language, are welcomed. No
original submission will be rejected on account
of its subject, so long as it relates to the
languages of the Afroasiatic phylum and meets
the scholarly standards established by previous
conferences.
All abstracts should be in English with glosses
or translations for words or examples in any
other language. Each abstract, including the
title and any data in figures or tables, must
not exceed 300 words. Abstracts should be
submitted to the conference email address,
afroasiatic
gmail.com (pdf and MS word
document), by November 15, 2014. Please be
advised that late submissions may not be
considered.
We encourage online registration, for which you
may visit our website at
www.nacal.org. The
authors of successful submissions will be
notified by December 1, 2015.
Information regarding accommodations for NACAL
43 will be posted to the website by early
September.
