Meeting Description:

The fourth instalment of the biannual Afrikaans Grammar Workshop (AGW)
will be hosted by North-West University, South Africa. This follows on
highly successful previous editions in Johannesburg (2016), Ghent
(2018), and Amsterdam (2021). Like the previous workshop, this one
will be a hybrid event: online, and at 26 Degrees South Hotel in
Muldersdrift, Gauteng, South Africa.

The workshop aims to bring together researchers from different
theoretical and methodological perspectives who study Afrikaans
grammar. We welcome contributions on any aspect of Afrikaans grammar,
including lexicology, orthography, phonology, morphology, syntax,
semantics, and pragmatics. Papers that compare Afrikaans grammar with
other West-Germanic or unrelated languages’ grammar are also welcomed,
as are papers on the diachronic development of Afrikaans grammar, the
role of language contact on the grammar, and current grammatical
variation.

We are honoured to also announce our two keynote speakers:
- Frank Hendricks (University of the Western Cape, South Africa)
- Timothy Colleman (Ghent University, Belgium)

Like in the past, the language medium of AGW will be English. More
information about the conference venue, costs, and other logistics
will be published from June 2023 onwards on the AGW’s web page: https:
//viva-afrikaans.org/portale/inligtingsportaal-reg/afrikaansewerkswink
el.

This year’s AGW will introduce two new innovations:

1. Peer-reviewed conference proceedings: In addition to “abstract
only” presentations, we will offer authors the additional option to
submit their papers for publication in the digital conference
proceedings. The proceedings will be double-blind peer-reviewed, will
have an ISBN, and will be published on the AGW’s web page. See
information on important dates below.

2. Ideas session: Scholars and students who want to share new ideas
(e.g., about their project), new data, or negative results, will have
the opportunity to share ideas pertaining to their research during a
10-minute idea session. This is a valuable opportunity for emerging
and established researchers to test new ideas with other scholars in
the field, seek opportunities for collaboration, etc.

Call for Papers:

We invite researchers at all stages of their careers, including
(graduate) students, to submit proposals in one of the following
categories:

Full paper: 20 minutes (published in peer-reviewed proceedings)
Paper: 20 minutes (not published)
Short paper: 10 minutes (not published)

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=agw2023.

paper, or short paper). You will also be required to provide
additional metadata, like keywords.

separate online submission form for each abstract.
- All abstracts will be peer-reviewed, and the final selection will be
made by the organising committee. Please do not include any reference
to your name in the document that you upload, as the peer-review
process will be done anonymously.
