This volume contains 26 papers selected from the 35th Annual Conference on African Linguistics (ACAL 35), which was held at Harvard University in 2004. The theme of the conference, “African Languages and Linguistics in Broad Perspective,” was an open invitation to go beyond traditional linguistic theorizing and to discuss issues of greater sociolinguistic and cultural meaning, outside of Africa as well as on the continent. The selected papers of this volume represent a broad range of papers selected for their significance, breadth of coverage, and depth of analysis, written by scholars from around the globe. They are divided into sections on (1) sociolinguistics, language status, and language policy, (2) phonology, (3) and morphology and syntax. The proceedings includes the keynote address by William R. Leben.
