Description

This open access edited volume brings together a team of linguists to explore how indigenized varieties of English and multilingualism interact with the holistic transformation of Africa. Contributors discuss the transformative development vision for Africa with a focus on ex-colonial languages, indigenized varieties and indigenous mother tongues. In doing so, they explore linguistic evolution and developments towards endonormativity, investigate the correlation between the Africanisation of English and transformative development, the indiginization of medical terminology in HIV/AIDS consultations, the interactions of Romance languages with local English varieties, and resonances between decolonizing multilingualisms in Singapore and Africa.

2027 Conference of the American Association for Applied Linguistics (AAAL)
https://www.aaal.org/2027-conference

The 2027 in-person conference of the American Association for Applied Linguistics (AAAL) will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, at the Renaissance Atlanta Waverly Hotel, March 13-16, 2027, and the virtual conference will be held on April 16, 2027. It marks the 50th meeting of AAAL. The theme for 2027 is “Focus on the Applied.” AAAL defines applied linguistics as:

An interdisciplinary field of inquiry that addresses a broad range of language-related issues in order to understand their roles in the lives of individuals and conditions in society. It draws on a wide range of theoretical and methodological approaches from various disciplines–from the humanities to the social and natural sciences–as it develops its own knowledge-base about language, its users and uses, and their underlying social and material conditions.

Building on this understanding, the 2027 conference draws attention to how work in applied linguistics generates knowledge about the intersection of language with a broad spectrum of experiences and has the potential to inform policy, practice, and public understanding across individual, community, and societal scales. It emphasizes how applied linguistics scholarship inherently reaches beyond academia, both in how issues and topics for research are generated and how findings are used. The extensive scope of applied linguistics means that it is an inter-/transdisciplinary nexus for theories, methods, and approaches from an array of intellectual traditions that are necessary for achieving its collective purpose as a field. The conference highlights how such connections are manifested in different configurations of individuals and teams who draw creatively on ideas from across humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. It also emphasizes how the inter-/transdisciplinary nature of applied linguistics positions the field to engage meaningfully with contemporary societal struggles.

Sociolinguistics Symposium 2026 (SS26)
https://sociolinguistics26.co.za/
Conference Theme: Sociolinguistic Consonance and Dissonance in the Pluriversal World

The Sociolinguistics Symposium is one of the leading international conferences in the field of Sociolinguistics. It brings together researchers and leading scholars from around the world who engage critically with the social aspects of language.

While its origin is in Europe in the United Kingdom, the biennial Sociolinguistics Symposium has since grown into a major international event, attracting between 600 and 1200 delegates. Since its inception in 1976 it has been hosted mainly in Europe but more recently in other parts of the world. It has never been held in Africa although there is increasing participation and uniquely African voices from delegates of the Symposium especially on issues of multilingualism, linguistic justice, equity and complexities of language in the contexts of dominant and dominated languages.

QUECHUA LANGUAGES AND CULTURES PROGRAM AT UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA!
https://web.sas.upenn.edu/quechua/

The renewed Quechua Languages and Cultures Program at the University of Pennsylvania, widely known as Quechua at Penn, is more than a language program; it is a vibrant space for intercultural learning, Indigenous knowledge, and academic excellence.

Offered through the Penn Language Center at University of Pennsylvania, the program is dedicated to teaching Quechua as a Foreign Language (QFL) through a communicative and culturally grounded approach. Students develop practical skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing while engaging with real-world communicative contexts.

Beyond language learning, the program opens pathways into the rich Andean-Amazonian cultural world, exploring the histories, traditions, worldviews, and symbolic systems of Quechua-speaking communities. Through courses, research initiatives, and cultural and academic activities, Quechua at Penn fosters a deeper understanding of one of the most important Indigenous languages and civilizations of the Americas.

Join us in celebrating and supporting Indigenous languages, cultures, and knowledge systems. Discover our courses, research, and community initiatives, and become part of a growing movement dedicated to linguistic and cultural revitalization.
