Meeting Description:

The workshop aims at examining the relationship between language and culture
while focusing on Swahili and other communities of East Africa. The present
meeting continues the line of research initiated by a conference under the
same theme which took place at the University of Warsaw in May of 2019. The
workshop will provide a platform for researchers coming from different
countries and working in different traditions to share their views on various
aspects of language-culture-literature interconnections. We invite scholars of
linguistics, literature and broad areas of cultural studies who work on
Kiswahili and other languages of East Africa. Selected contributions will be
published in a peer-reviewed monography.  

Invited Keynote Speakers:

(in lexicographic order)
Prof. Ernesta Mosha, University of Dar es Salaam
Prof. Leonard Muaka, Howard University
Prof. Alena Rettová, SOAS, University of London

The relation between language and culture has received a lot of attention in
academic scholarship of the recent decades with a conclusion that cultural and
linguistic experiences are interconnected and mutually affect each other.
Cultural practices and values which societies “live by” are reflected in
linguistic structures through metaphors and other conceptualizations (e.g.
image and event schemas, frames and scripts). They are entrenched in everyday
linguistic usage, clichés and frequent expressions, oral and written
literature. At the same time, their manifestations in frequent use lead to
emergence of “cultural cognition” and provide cultural models to follow and
possibly develop in novel ways.

Suggested topics for presentations may cover cultural conceptualizations in:

Linguistic structures and usage patterns
Discourse and communication strategies
Cultural keywords and values
Grammaticalization processes
Lexical categorization
Expression of emotions
Gestures and sign languages
Idioms, clichés, frequent expressions
Proverbs, riddles, enigmas
Various literary genres
Journalistic texts, comics and caricatures
New media communication (WhatsApp, social media content)
Translation and second language teaching

Please send abstracts (a named version and an anonymous version, preferably in
the pdf format) at: conf.orient at uw.edu.pl

Abstracts should not exceed 500 words, but a separate page with references may
be added. 
Abstracts and papers should be in English.

Abstracts’ deadline: March 31, 2020
Abstracts’ notification: April 30, 2020
