Meeting Description:

The Department of Linguistics and Language Practice at the University of the
Free State in Bloemfontein is hosting the fifth annual Southern African
Microlinguistics Workshop (SAMWOP-5). SAMWOP brings together linguists working
in the area of Southern African microlinguistics (broadly defined as
linguistics which focuses on the structure of language as opposed to, for
example, its sociological or educational role in society). This includes
researchers based in Southern Africa working in various areas of linguistics,
as well as those based elsewhere working on Southern African languages. 

The University of the Free State at Bloemfontein will provide a venue for the
talks, but workshop attendees will have to pay their own way in terms of
accommodation and travel. There will be no workshop registration fee.

Call for Papers: 

The workshop provides an opportunity for longer presentations and in-depth
discussion, with hour-long time slots available (as well as half-hour slots
for students), and no parallel sessions. As with the previous SAMWOP
workshops, a special issue of Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics Plus (SPIL
PLUS) will be set aside to which attendees will be encouraged to submit their
papers. 

Please submit your abstract of no more than 500 words, including examples and
references in pdf format via EasyAbs
(http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/SAMWOP-5) by 1 September 2016.
