NACAL 41 - New Haven, Connecticut

New Haven, CT -- The 41st annual meeting of the North American Conference on Afroasiatic Linguistics (NACAL 41) will be held at Yale University (New Haven, CT), on Saturday, February 16th, 2013 and Sunday, February 17th, 2013.

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.

The theme for NACAL 41 will be ‘Afroasiatic Languages in Contact’. This theme intends to capitalize on the growing number of scholars working on language contact in the field of Afroasiatic Linguistics. The schedule for NACAL 41 can be downloaded in PDF format from the link to the right.

We look forward to hearing from you.
