Meeting Description:

The MER Mathivha Centre for African Languages, Arts and Culture at University
of Venda is proud to be hosting the seventh annual Southern African
Microlinguistics Workshop (SAMWOP-7). SAMWOP brings together linguists working
in the area of Southern African microlinguistics (broadly defined as
linguistics which focuses on the structure of language as opposed to, for
example, its sociological or educational role in society). This includes
researchers based in Southern Africa working in various areas of theoretical
and general linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, morphology and
syntax, as well as those based elsewhere working on, for example, South
African Bantu languages, Afrikaans and Khoisan languages, as well as other
African languages, particularly from neighbouring countries.


Call for Papers:

The workshop provides an opportunity for longer presentations and in-depth
discussion, with hour-long time slots available, as well as half-hour slots
for students. SAMWOP is an important forum for research and networking for
junior researchers and students because it is free and fosters a friendly and
collaborative atmosphere through its flexible setup, without parallel
sessions, and time for informal discussion, as well as its relatively small
size.

As with the previous SAMWOP workshops, a special issue of Stellenbosch Papers
in Linguistics Plus (SPiL Plus) will be set aside to which attendees will be
encouraged to submit their papers.

University of Venda will provide a venue for the talks, and there will be no
workshop registration fee, but workshop attendees will have to pay their own
way in terms of accommodation and travel.

Please submit your abstract of no more than 500 words, including examples and
references in word or pdf format via Easy Chair by 30 September 2018 at
midnight (SAST).

If you are not able to submit on the EasyAbs system, you can also submit your
abstract by emailing it to samwop7 at gmail.com.
