Final Call for Papers:

Collaborative conference: 27th International Conference of the African

Hosted simultaneously with ISPN 2023

Location: University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa
Contact Person: Dr Chrismi Loth
Meeting Email: kongresETFB at ufs.ac.za
Linguistic Field(s): Lexicography

The Department of South African Sign Language and Deaf Studies at the
University of the Free State (RSA), in partnership with the African
Association for Lexicography, is pleased to announce the next
international AFRILEX conference in collaboration with ISPN 2023. The
theme of the conference is "Lexicography for Inclusion".
We invited abstracts on any aspect of dictionary research, practical
lexicography or terminography. Abstracts from disciplines related to
practical or theoretical lexicography / terminography are also
invited, but they should have a demonstrable lexicographic focus. We
also invite proposals for special sessions.

Abstracts must be submitted by 17 July 2023 to ahdp at sun.ac.za.

Abstracts should be formatted according to the template (see
conference page), and should be between 600 and 800 words long for
adjudicators to make informed judgements on the central argument of
the paper, especially given that conference proceedings are not
published. Abstracts should contain the following elements: a central
argument, methodology, and some (preliminary) conclusions. All
citations should be accounted for in a list of references. Submissions
that do not comply with these requirements will unfortunately be
rejected.

Receipt of abstracts will be acknowledged and feedback will be given
to authors as soon as the abstracts are received back from the
adjudicators. Abstracts of accepted papers will be distributed during
the conference. MS PowerPoint Presentation facilities will be
available. As a backup, presenters are invited to e-mail their
presentation to the organiser ahead of the conference.
