Meeting Description:

XV Conference of the Linguistics Association of SADC Universities
5 - 7 August 2019

The University of Zambia

Conference Theme: Digitising Indigenous Languages: Productivity, Accessibility
and Mobility in the Global South

In the broader context of digitisation and electronically mediated discourses
predicated on globalisation, the question of inclusivity and accessibility
re-awakens discussions on digitising indigenous languages especially in
diglossic and multilingual landscapes of Africa. Over the past decades, in
particular in discussions that have energised LASU conferences, the role of
indigenous languages in development, their production and uptake has remained
central. In this 15th LASU conference, the call to digitise indigenous
languages is part of a scholarly invitation to (re-)interrogate and
(re-)propose ways in which indigenous languages can be part of the global
semiotic flows and resources amenable to production, accessibility and
mobility beyond the linguistic virtual-scape of the Global South. The evident
permeable boundaries - linguistic and national - force us to prioritize
digitising indigenous languages, as this process relates to electronic
language documentation, description and electronic language production and
consumption for preservation and day-to-day use
