NACAL 40 - Call for Papers

New Brunswick, NJ -- Submissions are solicited for the 40th annual meeting of the North American Conference on Afroasiatic Linguistics (NACAL 40), which will be held at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey (New Brunswick, NJ), on Saturday, February 18th, 2012 and Sunday, February 19th, 2012.

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 exclusive.

To commemorate its 40th annual meeting, NACAL will host a special section dedicated to the theme of ‘Technology’ and how it relates to Afroasiatic language theory, documentation, description, translation, and pedagogy.

Submissions to this section are also solicited, but 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.

Charles Haberl

NACAL 40 Keynote speaker: Ekkehard Wolff (Universität Leipzig)
