About NACAL
The North American Conference on Afroasiatic Linguistics (NACAL) provides scholars from North America and around the world with a venue to discuss the Afroasiatic language phylum. Now in its 38th year, NACAL has held annual meetings since 1973. Previous meetings have been held in Ann Arbor, Austin, Baltimore, Boston, Cambridge, Chicago, Los Angeles, Nashville, New Haven, San Diego, Seattle, Toronto, and several other cities in the United States and Canada.
A list of previous conferences, organizers, and (since 1984) conference reminiscers is available here. This list is updated annually.
A partial bibliography of papers given at previous conferences is available here. If you have offered a paper at NACAL in the past and cannot find your paper among those mentioned in the bibliography, please contact us at afroasiatic@gmail.com.
