Congress - Arabic in Context
2 & 3 November 2013, Leiden University
The year 2013 marks the 400th anniversary of Leiden’s chair in Arabic Language and Culture. To celebrate this memorable event, the Leiden Institute for Area Studies and the Leiden University Centre for Linguistics will convene a congress that will bring together Arabicists, Semiticists, historians, and epigraphists to discuss original research on the pre- and early history of Arabic.
The papers presented at this congress will be published in a volume commemorating this important anniversary. It is hoped that the 400th year of Arabic at Leiden will mark an important contribution to our understanding of Arabic in its earliest stages. Program Professor John Huehnergard (University of Texas, Austin) will deliver the keynote address entitled “Arabic in its Semitic Context.” The full program is downloadable as pdf HERE THE CONFERENCE WILL BE HELD IN ENGLISH Contact details Please submit any questions you may have to the congress convener, Dr. Ahmad Al-Jallad: a.m.al-jallad@hum.leidenuniv.nl Registration & fee The conference is open to all.
