Acknowledgements

The majority of the papers in this volume stem from presentations at the 3rd Meeting of the Experimental Arabic Linguistics Conference (EXAL18), hosted by the Department of Linguistics at the United Arab Emirates University on 28–29 October, 2018. We would like to thank all presenters and participants of the conference. We are also grateful to the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at the United Arab Emirates University for their support in hosting EXAL18. We would additionally like to thank the ever-expanding community of people working on Experimental Arabic Linguistics, many of whom volunteered to externally review the chapters, this volume would not have been possible without their help. Finally, a heartfelt thanks to the tremendous support and help from the Studies in Arabic Linguistics Series Editors Elabbas Benmamoun and Enam Al-Wer and the John Benjamins editorial team. We hope that this effort will lay the foundations for many subsequent explorations of the fertile new field of experimental Arabic linguistics.
