Special Workshop: Areal Features and Linguistic Reconstruction

Africa contains several distinct linguistic areas which are often claimed to hold special importance for the reconstruction of African proto-languages and our understanding of African pre-history. This workshop will focus on exploring the fine-grained areal distribution of the phonological, morphological, and syntactic features of Africa with debates about genetic affiliation and historical migration patterns as a backdrop.

Important Dates and Deadlines:

September 1: Call for papers
December 1: Abstract submission
Early January: Results announced, registration opens
