Meeting Description:

In the last decades, the description of African languages benefited a lot from the recent developments of good practices in the areas of information technology and of linguistic analysis including typology and language documentation. These developments have been stimulated by various collaborative projects and funding schemes. The aim of the colloquium is to gather linguists working in West Africa so that they can share each other’s scientific results, insights, know-how and research questions in order to increase our understanding of the languages of the region.

Denis Creissels, University of Lyon 2
Felix Ameka, Universityof Leiden

Conference Venue:

Faculté de Lettres, Université de Cheikh Anta Diop, Dakar, Senegal
