Location: Malawi University of Science and Technology, Malawi

Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics

Meeting Description: 

This is 9th in the series of conferences which brings together those working
on Bantu languages. Previous conferences have been held at SOAS University of
London, Gothenburg, Tervuren, Paris, Berlin, Helsinki, Cape Town and Essex.

The Bantu language family is one of the world’s largest in terms of numbers,
geographic and demographic spread. It has some 500 languages spoken across
East, Central and Southern Africa. This language family includes many national
and international languages. However, there are also many languages that
remain inadequately described, documented and resourced and some are
endangered. Studies on Bantu languages have also been on the micro-variations
among the languages and recent discussions have centred around decolonising
Bantu linguistics. The International conference on Bantu languages brings
together scholars interested in any aspect of the description, analysis and
comparison of Bantu languages.

Three thematic workshops are scheduled as part of the conference (Workshops
will be conducted on 10th June 2022).

Below are the workshops:
Workshop 1: The voicing continuum in Bantu (Nancy C. Kula, Winfred Mkochi,
Atikonda Mtenje-Mkochi, Maxwell Kadenge)
Workshop 2: Youth language practices and morphosyntactic variation (Hannah
Gibson, Nico Nassenstein, Fridah Kanana, Sambulo Ndlovu, Andrea Hollington
Workshop 3: The potential for increased use of Bantu languages at National and
International levels (Bert van Pinxteren, Fridah Kanana Erastus, Gabriel
Djomeni)
