Meeting Description:

SAMWOP is an annual event that 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 theoretical and general
linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, morphology and syntax, as well as
those based elsewhere working on e.g. South African Bantu languages, Afrikaans
and Khoisan languages, as well as other African languages, particularly from
neighbouring countries. 

SAMWOP provides an opportunity for longer presentations and in‐depth
discussion, with no parallel sessions and with both 60min and 30min slots
available (the latter being earmarked for students). The workshop fosters a
friendly and collaborative atmosphere with a flexible setup and room for
informal discussion. SAMWOP is an important forum for research and networking,
especially for junior researchers and students. There is no conference fee.


Call for Papers: 

We invite abstracts for long presentations (40-minute talks followed by 20
minutes of discussion) and also for short presentations (20-minute talks
followed by 10 minutes of discussion, earmarked for students) on any aspect of
the phonetics, phonology, morphology, and/or syntax of one or more southern
African language(s).

This year, we are also very interested in research focusing on Kaaps and/or
other lesser studied colloquial varieties of Afrikaans. Papers focusing formal
aspects of “non-standard” varieties and on phenomena like code-switching /
translanguaging are also very welcome, as are papers considering how aspects
of the structure of non-Germanic languages spoken in southern Africa (may)
have impacted on the structure of colloquial Afrikaanses.

A special issue of Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics Plus (SPiL Plus) is
typically published following each SAMWOP event, and attendees will be
encouraged to submit their papers.

Abstract guidelines and submission: 
Abstracts should not exceed 500 words (with 2.5cm margins on all sides and a
font size of 12pt). This includes data and references. Each author may submit
no more than one single-authored and one co- authored abstract, or two
co-authored ones. Abstracts must be anonymous. Submissions should be submitted
in PDF format via EasyAbs
(https://old.linguistlist.org/confservices/customhome.cfm?CFID=0c4b2b78-103d-4
1b0-a580-7a0f8542d283&CFTOKEN=0&emeetingid=6802JA44587E444E40A050441) by 30
August 2021 at midnight (SAST).
