Acid base dissociation in liquid ammonia? You might have to give us some context.
Explanation:
As you know the autoprotolysis of water is described by the following equation:

This is a much more basic regime (i.e. alkaline regime) than that which occurs in water.
Hydrogen fluoride could also be conceivably used as a solvent:
This is a more acidic regime than water.
