Call for Papers

 The theme of this year’s edition is ‘Urban and Rural Morocco’. Theoretical linguists are invited, in their research endeavors, to elucidate the structure of Moroccan urban and rural  varieties at the phonological, morphological, syntactic and semantic levels. Applied linguists  are welcome to present research that goes beyond the constraints that govern these varieties to unravel how they interact with society, culture, history, geography, and psychology, among others.

We welcome abstracts on unpublished research for both oral (20 min talk + 10 min discussion)  and poster presentations (1h and 30 min) on any of the following areas: 

• Phonetics   

• Phonology   

• Morphology 

• Syntax
