CALL FOR PAPERS
The annual meeting of the Association of Portuguese and Spanish
Lexically-Based Creoles (ACBLPE) will be held on 9-11 September 2025
in the city of Mindelo (São Vicente Island, Republic of Cape Verde),
in partnership with the University of Cape Verde (UniCV), which will
host the event.
We welcome proposals dealing with Portuguese- and/or Spanish-based
Creoles (i.e. the main research topic of the ACBLPE) as well as with
language contact involving Portuguese and/or Spanish in any part of
the world. Given the environment in which the meeting will take place
in 2025, we especially encourage proposals related to
Ibero-Romance-based Creoles and varieties of Portuguese spoken in
Africa, for example in their connection with education and language
policies or with various aspects of social ecology. Accepted talks
will have an estimated duration of 30 minutes (20 minutes for oral
presentation plus 10 minutes for discussion).
Abstracts should be written in Portuguese, Spanish, French, English or
German, with a limit of 500 words, excluding references and examples,
and sent to acblpe.mindelo.2025 at gmail.com, in both Word and PDF, with
the format: title – summary – (examples [if too long to be inserted in
the text]) – references. Do not include your name and affiliation in
the abstract itself. The subject of the email should contain “Abstract
ACBLPE 2025”. In the body of the email, please include the following
data: author(s), academic affiliation(s), status (professor,
researcher, student…), email contact(s), title of the abstract.
Important dates
    Deadline for submitting abstracts: January 19, 2025
    Deadline for notification of the results of the abstract
evaluation: February 15, 2025
Abstract evaluation criteria
    Relevance and originality of the proposed topic.
    Argumentation (including clarity of argument and
results/conclusions).
    Knowledge of the literature regarding the proposed topic.
Aspects to take into consideration when preparing the summary
    Choose a title that clearly indicates the research topic and does
not exceed one line of running text.
    Clearly present the topic in the abstract.
    Make reference to previous work on the topic.
    When relevant to the clarity of the argument, present linguistic
data (with glosses and/or translation when needed). In the case of
longer examples, such as sentences, include them after the summary and
before the references.
    Give the meaning of each abbreviation (between brackets) the first
time you use it.
    Avoid vague or unsubstantiated claims.
    Indicate the contribution of the work to the field.
    Include references.
MINDELO (SÃO VICENTE, CAPE VERDE)
The 2024 ACBLPE annual meeting will take place in the city of Mindelo,
on the island of São Vicente in Cape Verde, an archipelago of
significant linguistic interest, where Portuguese (the official
language of the country) coexists with the Cape Verdean language,
spoken by the vast majority of the population.
On September 8, 2025, a university-level course on Creole languages
will be organized in cooperation with UniCV. The organizers of the
meeting also intend to organize a guided tour of the neighboring
island of Santo Antão the day after the meeting (September 12, 2025),
so that participants may get to get acquainted with the cultural and
environmental characteristics of this island, whose own linguistic
variant still remains under-researched.
