Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The next scheduled meeting of the International Syriac Language Project (ISLP) will be held on 21-24 November 2015 in Atlanta, Georgia, in conjunction with the annual meetings of the Society of Biblical Literature and the American Academy of Religion. We are looking forward to these meetings and the opportunity to interact with one another’s research, particularly as it relates to the goals and interests of the ISLP. On behalf of the organizing committee we would like to encourage ISLP members and friends to consider proposing a paper on a relevant topic for presentation at this meeting. Proposals on all aspects of lexicography, linguistics, and ancient languages, especially but not limited to Syriac studies, are most welcome. Papers that are presented at the meetings will later be peer reviewed and submitted for publication in our ISLP series entitled Perspectives on Linguistics and Ancient Languages (PLAL), which is published by Gorgias Press. Since we have a limited number of slots available on the program, it is important that we hear from you as soon as possible if you wish to propose a paper. We do hope that you will be able to join us in Atlanta for these meetings. Please contact us right away at the following e-mail addresses to let us know of your interest. We look forward to hearing from you soon! James Aitken Cambridge Rick Taylor Dallas
