Presentation (back to the top)
Since 1978, Italian scholars have been
organizing an informal meeting on Afro-Asiatic linguistics every two or
three years. The Meeting was originally plannes for Italian researchers engaged
with the comparative or descriptive study of Afro-Asiatic languages, as an
opportunity to present their work in progress and to exchange scholarly information.
Form and scope of the Meeting have
changed over the years (click here for an overview on the
history of the Meeting and a complete list of the
proceedings) and more and more international participants and contributors
have been attending. At the last edition (Florence 2001), 18 of the 44 papers
were read by scholars coming from abroad, from other countries of the European
Union as well as from Russia,
Poland, Hungary, Switzerland, Israel, and the United States of America.
The XI Italian Meeting of Afro-Asiatic Linguistics will be held at the University of Bergamo from Thursday 5th to Saturday 7th June 2003. In the context of the DOREK
research-project ‘Critical edition with translation and concordances of
Christian Neo-Aramaic poems from Iraqi Kurdistan’ (University of Turin), the
Meeting in Bergamo will host a section on Neo-Aramaic
languages and literatures. Neo-Aramaic scholars are warmly invited to
contribute.
A tentative
program of the 11th Italian Meeting of Afro-Asiatic Linguistics is now
available on-line: Program (click here!).

Travel Information (back to the top)
By plane: Several flights land in Bergamo
(Orio al Serio airport), sometimes
advertised as Milan-Orio al Serio. The airport is quite close to the town, so
you can take a bus (running every 30 min.; Zani, tel. +39-035-678678 / +
39-035-678750) to/from the railway station (Bergamo Lower Town), or a taxi.
If your flight lands in Milan
(Linate or Malpensa) you can take a
bus (Air Pullman, tel. +39-0331-230830; FNM, tel. +39-02-48066771; STAB, tel
+39-035-318472) to Milan - Stazione Centrale [sta't:sjo:ne t∫en'tra:le]
and from there a train to Bergamo (see below). From Malpensa
there are also trains to Milan - Stazione Nord (Malpensa Express): from there
(Piazzale Cadorna) you can take the underground (Metropolitana) to the Stazione
Centrale, and then a train to Bergamo.
By train: There are trains between Milan (Stazione
Centrale [sta't:sjo:ne t∫en'tra:le]) and Bergamo every hour. The trip Milan-Bergamo
lasts around 1 hour. For more information, please consult the timetable of the Italian Railway Company.
In Bergamo: Buses run almost every ten minutes from the
railway station in Bergamo (Lower Town)
to the Upper Town, where the Meeting will be held (see Rettorato in Via
Salvecchio [sal'vek:jo], C on the map of the
Upper Town).
Bus no.1A takes
you to Colle Aperto, while no. 1 takes you to the station of the funiculare
[funiko'la:re], by which you can easily reach the Upper Town with the same
bus ticket. A ticket (0,90 €; a ticket for10 trips is also available) may be
used for 1 hour from stamping on various lines (buses and funicolare).
Please, note that tickets may not be bought on board, but are available at all

visit the site of APT Bergamo (Tourist Office). Do not hesitate to contac
us for any problem
you may have in planning your journey or reserving a room.
Hotels (back to the top)
The
sessions of the Meeting will be held at the University building called
‘Salvecchio’ [sal'vek:jo]
in the Upper Town (see Rettorato
[ret:o'ra:to] in Via Salvecchio, C on the map of
the Upper Town). Since the number
of hotel rooms available in Bergamo (especially in the Upper Town) is quite
limited, early reservation would be advisable.

arrangements, contacting the hotels listed below directly (check their location
