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).
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.
