Meeting Description:

Linguists from Cheikh Anta Diop University (CLAD, IFAN, Department of
Linguistics) will organize the first International Colloquium on Linguistics
(CilDak-1). This symposium will gather linguists working on African languages
and the languages spoken in the African continent. It will be held from
March 16 to 18, 2023 in Dakar (Senegal). The topic for this colloquium is:

″ LANGUAGE DESCRIPTION IN AFRICA: DATA AND THEORIES″ 

The description of a language can be a tricky work for whoever undertakes it.
The pieces of this puzzle, which is called ‘(general) system of language’,
only come together in a coherent whole after long observations and analyzes
and, sometimes even, after cross-checking with other languages. 
The linguist is sometimes in a particular situation, especially if he works on
one of the languages he speaks. This has often been and continues to be the
case in African linguistics. It is very common for Africanist linguists to
work on their own language(s).

Whether he speaks the language he describes or not, the linguist is
conditioned by his linguistic substrate. It is from various phonological,
morphosyntactic and cultural screens, among others, that he will apprehend his
object of study. Linguistics as a science has developed techniques of
objectification for the acquisition of knowledge, allowing access to a
descriptive approach free of the biases mentioned. Culioli (1999: 68) defines
linguistics as the science that apprehends language through the diversity of
natural languages. It shares with other human and natural sciences the
activity of description data in units. Describing in the sense of
representing, goes back to the first reflexes of drawing, arrangement,
annotation, constitution of lists which today still preoccupy the history of
ancient documents. Botany, for example, has long remained a science of
description, classification and use of plant species.

One of the precepts of language description is increasingly based on a
multidisciplinary approach which can be built on the following statement ''to
fully understand languages, they must be apprehended in their social and
cultural environment'' (Bouquiaux and Thomas: 1971). It is not about
trivializing the historical and socio-cultural stakes of descriptive activity
by reducing the purposes of linguistic studies to comparison with living
organs, to pure taxonomy. The observation of language facts in the context of
their system and their history makes it possible to prioritize the times and
tasks of description. The formal, functional and cognitive approaches of
contemporary linguistics do not doubt the fact that the linguistic description
of a given language must take into consideration all the components of that
language. Linguistics has been enriched by enlarging its object of study to
that of variation, discourse, enunciation, dialogue, and the building of
meaning.  The nature of data in linguistics and the principles governing their
constitution has become central in recent years, and this is clearly
demonstrated by the importance that corpus linguistics has gained over years.
In addition, the collected data are often used by resorting to tools borrowed
from a particular and well-defined theoretical framework. Thus, one can wonder
whether the fact of carrying out research in a theoretical framework
influences the collection and exploitation of data or whether the data can
impose the application of a theory, or there is an eclecticism which borrows
tools from several theories.
