Call for Papers
Date: 3 – 5 July 2012
Host: Department of African Languages,
University of Pretoria (Pretoria, South Africa)
Invited: Papers on any aspect of lexicography or terminology
All papers will be adjudicated.
Prospective presenters are to submit abstracts to reach AFRILEX before 31 March 2012. Abstracts must be between 600 and 800 words long for adjudicators to make informed judgements on the central argument of the paper, especially given that conference proceedings are not published. Abstracts should contain the following elements: a central argument, how the study was conducted and some (preliminary) conclusions. Papers that do not comply with these requirements will unfortunately be rejected.
Abstracts should be sent by e-mail to Ms Jill Wolvaardt: E-mail address: j.wolvaardt@ru.ac.za | Postal address: Dictionary Unit for South African English, Rhodes University, P.O. Box 94, Grahamstown, 6140, South Africa | Tel.: +27 (0)46 603 7243 | Fax: +27 (0)46 603 8107.
Receipt of abstracts will be acknowledged and feedback will be given to authors as soon as it is received back from the adjudicators. Abstracts of accepted papers will be distributed during the conference. MS PowerPoint presentation facilities will be available. As a backup, presenters will be asked to e-mail their slide show ahead of the conference.
Please note: It is compulsory for presenters of papers, workshops and special sessions to register in advance (i.e. before 1 June 2012).
