Meeting Description: 

Conference topic: Multilingualism in Africa: Language contact, endangerment
and 
cultural conceptualisation

Scope and aims: This Symposium provides an interdisciplinary perspective on
multilingual Africa as a linguistic, sociolinguistic and cultural arena, as
well as an analysis of specific linguistic regions in various parts of the
African continent. Amongst other topics, the multilingual nature and
linguistic diversity of African regions will be at the centre of discussion
with a respective focus on languages in education and the issue of endangered
languages. The Symposium will also demonstrate the relevance of the cultural
conceptualisations encoded in language (e.g. New Englishes) to all aspects of
human life in African society. The Symposium is concerned with the
sociolinguistic and culture-specific situations in many parts of Africa and
centres on the nature and manifestations of the impact of globalisation on
African languages. The overall aim of the conference is to explore a wide
range of linguistic and cultural phenomena and factors that influence African
languages within the context of global change with far-reaching consequences
to future generations throughout the African continent.

NB: The Symposium is not concerned with linguistic-systematic analyses of
African languages per se, but rather with macro-sociolinguistic issues
pertaining to African languages and globalisation.
