The International Congress of Linguists meets every five years to
reflect the development of Linguistics, the close study of language
and languages. In 2018, for the first time, the Congress is being
held in Africa. The African continent is blessed with hundreds of
languages which act as local repositories of culture and
interaction. South Africa itself has eleven official languages,
plus Sign Language, many heritage languages, and new languages of
global movements and migration. This book of selected papers from
the Congress will provide an up-to-date specialist overview of the
main fields of Linguistics. The papers will broadly address the
history of languages, structure, acquisition, diversity and use. At
the same time due regard will be paid to the African continent in
several of the papers in connection with its linguistic diversity,
multilingualism and educational and societal concerns. This
collection is therefore meant to affirm the value of the languages
of Africa, of languages and Linguistics in general, as well as to
inspire and equip younger scholars to undertake advanced research
into language in its many facets.
