NACAL is an annual gathering featuring the presentation and discussion of original research on linguistic topics relevant to the languages of the Afroasiatic phylum (Berber, Chadic, Cushitic, Egyptian, Omotic, and Semitic). Topics related to all aspects of Afroasiatic languages, including phonology, morphology, syntax, comparative linguistics, sociolinguistics, epigraphy, and more are welcome.
We are also pleased to announce that the keynote speaker for NACAL 46 will be Dr. Christopher Ehret, Distinguished Research Professor at UCLA. Dr. Ehret's work includes historical-comparative reconstruction and classification of the Afroasiatic phylum and other families across the African continent as well as broader research on the history of Africa. His address is entitled: ''Expanding the Afroasiatic Reconstruction: Historical Linguistics in a Deep-Time Language Family.''
