Exploring Variation in Semitic Languages: Form-Meaning Interfaces across Arabic Varieties
The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum of discussion for cross-linguistic research on understudied phenomena in Arabic syntax and semantics, with the general goal of exploring linguistic diversity through the prism of Arabic (or more broadly, Semitic languages). It aims to bring together linguists working on Semitic languages or on Arabic and its varieties, from different approaches, disciplines, or perspectives. It also aims to serve as a forum for promoting exchanges among linguists -both established and emerging- with diverse expertise in Arabic and its varieties.
All submissions will be evaluated anonymously. Abstracts must not contain any information revealing the identity of the authors (name, affiliation, address, bibliographical references). Abstracts should be no longer than 500 words (including examples, excluding references) and clearly present the research questions, approach, methodology, data and results. Abstracts should be formatted according to the template provided. Abstract submissions should be made via EasyChair and will follow the same evaluation process as papers submitted to the general session. It is therefore important to select the correct workshop title when submitting. Each paper will occupy a 30-minute slot (20-minute presentation, 5-minute discussion, 5-minute room change).
