Meeting Description:

The annual International Conference of the African Association for
Lexicography provides an opportunity for an exchange of ideas and for mutual
stimulus to researchers, practitioners and publishers in the fields of
lexicography, terminology and corpus linguistics. The 23rd edition (AFRILEX
2018) is taking place in Cape Town, South Africa, hosted by the University of
the Western Cape.

Call for Papers:

Invited: papers with a lexicographic focus on any aspect of lexicography or
terminology. 

- Special sessions may be proposed.
- All submissions will be adjudicated.
- The conference language is English.

Prospective presenters are to submit abstracts to reach AFRILEX before 31
March 2018. The abstract should be formatted according to the template.
Abstracts must be between 600 and 800 words long for adjudicators to make
informed judgements on the central argument of the paper, especially given
that conference proceedings are not published. Abstracts should contain the
following elements: a central argument, how the study was conducted and some
(preliminary) conclusions. Papers that do not comply with these requirements
will unfortunately be rejected.

Abstracts should be sent by e-mail to ahdp at sun.ac.za

Abstract Committee:

Prof. Sonja Bosch: boschse at unisa.ac.za
Mr. Andre du Plessis: ahdp at sun.ac.za

Receipt of abstracts will be acknowledged and feedback will be given to
authors as soon as the abstracts are received back from the adjudicators.
Abstracts of accepted papers will be distributed during the conference. MS
PowerPoint Presentation facilities will be available. As a backup, presenters
are invited to e-mail their presentation to the organiser ahead of the
conference.

Please note: It is compulsory for presenters of papers and special sessions to
register in advance (i.e. before 01 June 2018).

Abstract submission format according to the template:

Full title of paper
Firstname(s) SURNAME (e-mail address)
Affiliation: Department/Institute, University, Place, Country

Firstname(s) SURNAME (e-mail address), in case of second author etc.

Write your abstract in block style in Times New Roman 12. The line spacing
should be single. Cite single authors as surname (year:page) or (surname,
year:page). If you cite a publication with two authors, please do it as
follows: surname1 & surname2 (year:page) or (surname1 & surname2, year:page).
More than two authors are cited as surname1 et al. (year:page) or (surname1 et
al. year:page). When referring to the publication as such, you can leave out
the page numbers. When referring to several page numbers, you can use
“page-page”.

In your Afrilex abstract, the first line of every paragraph after the first
paragraph should be written with a left indent of 1 cm. Tables and figures
should be centered. Enumerated lists do not need to be indented.

If you list linguistic examples of languages other than English, please
provide English translations.

Paragraphs after figures or tables should not be indented. Please limit
screenshots (for space reasons) and keep the number of figures to a minimum.
However, do not minimize figures too much: Remember that while you write this
on A4-pages, the book of abstracts will be printed on A5. If you are unsure
about the instructions, you may consult the Afrilex abstract booklet of 2017
as example. This can be found on the following webpage:
http://afrilex.africanlanguages.com/AFRILEX_2017_Booklet.pdf .

Lastly, your abstract should not exceed 800 words (MS word count), everything
included - also the “References” section, see an example below. Please do not
use footnotes, if unavoidable, you may use endnotes  instead.
