This volume contains 25 papers selected from the 36th Annual Conference on African Linguistics (ACAL 36), which was held at Georgia Southern University in 2005. The theme of the conference was "Shifting the Center of Africanism: Language, Economic Regionalism and Globalization." Along with the plenary papers by Zaline Makini Roy-Campbell and Paul Tiyambe Zeleza, the papers in this volume are organized into sections on phonology, syntax, morpho-semantics, language in pedagogy, and language in social context. The complete table of contents is available at http://www.lingref.com/cpp/acal/36/index.html along with abstracts and the actual papers in PDF format.
