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 LandÃvar), 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.
