Conference: "Spanish in Africa, past, present and future"

"El español en África en pasado, presente y futuro" as part of the SNSF-funded research project "Improving the visibility of Equatorial Guinea as a Spanish-speaking country"

The conference "El español en África en pasado, presente y futuro" ("Spanish in Africa, past, present and future") will be held as part of the research project "Improving the visibility of Equatorial Guinea as a Spanish-speaking country", funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), and is co-organized by Sandra Schlumpf-Thurnherr and Sara Carreira.

The aim of this conference is to examine the challenges and opportunities of the Spanish language in Africa in the past, present and future. Individual contributions will examine these various regions of Africa with a clear connection to the Spanish language from a current perspective. The focus will be on sociolinguistic and language policy aspects, but dialectological and linguistic contact phenomena will also be addressed.
