With more than a quarter of the languages of humanity, the linguistic diversity of Africa represents a richness in terms of world heritage and linguistic description, but also a challenge for trans-community communication and for the integration of small minorities in larger national communities. Additionally, the persistent use of former colonial languages in most official functions may constitute an impediment, with regard to productive communication between educated elites and ordinary community members and the involvement of the latter in national development. The present course addresses these issues from a descriptive and critical perspective and through open discussions about potential resolutions regarding language preservation, development, and language planning.At the end of the course, the students will be able to understand the complex linguistic situation in Africa; identify and discuss potential issues and/or advantages relating to the use of African languages, and appreciate how they are connected to the endogenous development of African communities.Potential topics
• Language and identity in Africa
- Identity, the individual and the group
- Language, dialect and identity
- Dialect and identity: beyond standard and nonstandard
- Ethnicity and nationalism in Africa

• Language & Development in Africa

- Africa’s ‘mother tongues’ and Africa’s future
