AIDA was founded in 1993 in Paris to encourage and promote the study of Arabic dialects. Today AIDA is the leading international association in this field of research and has become a forum for scholars from all over the world who are interested in any aspect of Arabic dialectology, including hitherto unknown dialects, dialectal geography, specific aspects of phonology, morphology and syntax, the lexicon of Arabic dialects, comparative and diachronic studies, sociolinguistics, teaching of Arabic dialects, and so on. AIDA also organises biannual conferences which are held alternately in Arab and non-Arab countries.
For more than a decade the “Association Internationale de Dialectologie Arabe” was guided and developed by Dominique Caubet (INALCO, Paris) and her colleagues Martine Vanhove and Catherine Miller.
The members of the current executive board are:
President: Stephan Procházka (Vienna)
Vice-President: Abderrahim Youssi (Rabat)
Secretary: Rudolf de Jong (Amsterdam)
Treasurer: Ángeles Vicente (Zaragoza)
