Second Call for Papers: 

This is the second Call for Papers for presentations for the general session,
for each of the three panel sessions, as well as for poster presentations.

General session:
We warmly welcome researchers and PhD students working on any field of African
languages and linguistics to submit abstracts for paper presentation to the
general session. Presentations may cover but are by no means restricted to the
following topics:
- Description of African languages (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics,
pragmatics)
- African linguistics and linguistic typology
- Historical linguistics
- Language classification
- Comparative and areal linguistics
- Anthropological linguistics
- Cognitive linguistics
- Sociolinguistics
- Teaching African languages
- Literatures in African languages

Panel sessions:
We are excited to offer three panel sessions. The Call for Papers for each
panel is provided on the conference website.

1) Commands, blessings and warnings: Grammatical and ethnolinguistic aspects
of directives in African languages
Panel organisers: Ronny Meyer & Yvonne Treis (CNRS/INALCO, LLACAN)

2) Linguistic Biographies
Panel organisers: Andrea Hollington (Uni. zu Köln) & Nico Nassenstein (JGU
Mainz)

3) The ‘African type(s)’ of pronominal honorification
Panel organiser: Lee Pratchett (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin)

Poster session:
We would also like to invite MA students, PhD students and researchers to
submit abstracts to present their research in the form of a poster.

Online Presentations: Suggested Format:
Presenters of papers and posters are requested to submit a pre-recorded
presentation or screencast in advance of the conference. Our hope is to make
presentations available slightly in advance of the conference to give
conference participants the opportunity to view all presentations – no more
missing out on the talks you want to hear due to speaker overlap! This will
all be carried out in accordance with presenters’ consent and nothing will be
made publicly available beyond the scope of the conference. Further details
will be made available once the size of the conference becomes clearer.

Submission Guidelines:
Presentations should last for 20-25 minutes with 5-10 minutes for discussion
(max. 30 minutes total). The conference languages are German and English.
Please submit your abstract (max. 300 words) using the Easychair platform:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=afra2021. You will be prompted by
Easychair to create an account if you do not already have one in order to
submit your abstract. In the submission form, please select if your
presentation should be considered for the general session, one of the panel
sessions, or the poster session.

Papers accepted for AFRA2020 are automatically accepted for AFRA2021.
Presenters are requested to resubmit their abstract via Easychair, ticking the
appropriate box in the submission form indicating that it is a resubmission.
Alternatively, please send an email expressing your interest in participating:
afra2021 at easychair.org.

Important dates:
Deadline for abstracts: 8 March 2021
Notification of acceptance will be made by 15 March 2021.
For further information please check our conference website or get in touch by
