Oral presentations will last 30 minutes, including 10 minutes for discussion.
When submitting your abstract, you will be able to select a 'poster'

Workshops:

Four thematic workshops are scheduled as part of the conference. Submissions
to the workshops must follow the same guidelines as submissions for the
general session. Please indicate which workshop you wish your talk to be
considered for at the top of your abstract and in file name (i.e. Workshop 1,
Workshop 2). Abstracts for the workshops should also be submitted via
EasyChair, following the same formatting guidelines. All the abstracts
submitted to the workshop will be reviewed individually by the Programme
Committee and the workshop conveners.

case of Bantu (Eva-Marie Bloom Ström, Jenneke van der Wal, Allen Asiimwe and

languages (Larry M. Hyman and Mark Van de Velde) 

Workshop 3: Continuity and divergence in the North-Western languages: Study of
the relationships between Bantu and Bantoid (Rebecca Grollemund, Derek Nurse
and John Watters) 

Workshop 4: Towards a decolonial linguistics (Kristina Riedel and Hannah
