Subject: Call for Chapters: A Festschrift for Tayo Lamidi

 
Professor Mufutau Temitayo Lamidi has been imparting knowledge to students and
impacting budding scholars for about two decades in the university system
through teaching and research, principally in generative syntax and contact
linguistics. His book entitled Aspects of Chomskyan Grammar (2008) is a
ground-breaking contribution to the study of generative syntax. 

He has also edited a number of books as well as published book chapters and
several journal articles in the areas of generative syntax, contact
linguistics, sociolinguistics, contrastive linguistics, applied linguistics
and computer-mediated communication, touching many lives in the process.

Prof. Lamidi, until recently a visiting scholar at the University of Ghana,
Legon, has successfully produced several M.A. and PhD degree holders who have
been very exceptional in their respective academic endeavours. It is in
recognition of his contribution to the academia and humanity that a collection
of essays entitled Linguistic Structure, Language Contact and Virtual
Communication: A Festschrift for Tayo Lamidi is being proposed to honour him.
The proposed festschrift is a scholarly engagement that is intended to provide
a viable platform for scholars around the globe to critically engage emerging
trends in the areas that have been the concerns of Prof. Lamidi’s scholarly
