Meeting Description:

Workshop 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:

The Great Zimbabwe University, through its Centre for Language
Research and Development (CLARD), is proud to be hosting the 11th
Southern African Microlinguistics Workshop (SAMWOP-11) from Wednesday
29th November to Friday 01 December 2023.

SAMWOP-11 will be a solely in-person workshop. 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).

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 & 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.
