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

33 scholars from the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Israel, Jordan, and Russia will come to Rutgers to discuss topics related to all aspects of the Afroasiatic language phylum, including phonology, morphology, syntax, comparative linguistics, sociolinguistics, and epigraphy. Abstracts of the communications may be found here.

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.

NACAL 40 is also honored to present Prof. Dr. H. Ekkehard Wolff (Universität Leipzig) as its keynote speaker. Prof. Wolff will deliver his keynote address on the topic of "Family Matters."
