GURT began as a small gathering for research- ers in language studies to share their current work and has gradually grown to become an internationally known forum for linguistic and language research, with an annual thematic focus. The theme of the 2010 Round Table was Arabic Language and Lin- guistics. At Georgetown and around the world, students are flocking to courses on Modern Standard Arabic and on Arabic linguistics. Arabic, one of the official languages of the United Nations, is spoken by more than half a billion people around the world and is of increasing importance in political and economic spheres. In ad- dition the study of the Arabic language has a long and rich history: The earliest grammatical accounts date from the eighth century, and they include full syntactic, morphological, and phonological analyses of the vernaculars and of Classical Arabic. GURT 2010 was cohosted by the Department of Linguistics and by the Depart- ment of Arabic Language and Islamic Studies and was held March 12–14, with scholars of Arabic from around the world presenting research on various aspects of Arabic language study, from grammatical analysis to language pedagogy, and from sociolinguistic investigation to computational analysis. The invited speakers, whose work spanned this spectrum, were Mushira Eid, University of Utah; Ali Farghaly, formerly of Monterey Institute of International Studies and Cairo University, now at DataFlux Corporation; Catherine Miller, French Council of Research and Centre Jacques Berque; Karin Ryding, Georgetown University; and Yasir Suleiman, Univer- sity of Cambridge. GURT 2010 drew more than 200 attendees from around the world, including many from Europe, Asia, North Africa, and the Middle East, making it the largest assemblage of Arabic language scholars in North America to date. Nearly eighty papers were presented in the main sessions, and another two dozen were presented in panel sessions. This volume includes a selection of the papers presented that represents the range and quality of research on the Arabic language in the twenty- first century. We would like to express our gratitude to the Faculty of Languages and Linguis- tics and the Department of Linguistics for their financial support and to the Depart- ment of Arabic Language and Islamic Studies for its institutional support. We are grateful to our reviewers for sharing their expertise in the field and for helping us to select papers for both the conference and for this volume. We are also deeply in debt to our chief graduate organizer, Cala Zubair, whose attention to the countless details of organization was invaluable to the success of the conference, and to our assistant graduate organizer, Jaemyung Goo, who coordinated an army of graduate student assistants and provided essential technical assistance. We also thank the army of graduate students, without whom the conference would have been impossible. Our thanks also go to both Manela Dies and Meriem Tikue, who provided crucial admin- Preface ix istrative assistance before, during, and after the conference. Finally, we would like to thank Mark Muehlhaeusler of the Lauinger Library of Georgetown University for his invaluable help in revising and formatting the texts, the Arabic transliterations, and the references for the chapters presented here. As we prepared this volume to go to press, contributors and editors alike were distracted by the political changes sweeping across the Arab world. We hope that these changes bring new opportunities and inspiration for research on the Arabic language in the context of more open and democratic societies.
