The Names Society of Southern Africa (NSSA), in collaboration with MER Mathivha Centre of African Languages, Arts and Culture at the University of Venda in Thohoyandou, invites onomasticians all over the world to submit abstracts for the 2018 bi-annual international congress.
Date: 18-20 September 2018
Venue: Bolivia Lodge, Polokwane, South Africa
Theme: Onomastics versus traditions of analytic philosophy and logic
Every name has its rationale and its existence can be explained or justified. Shakespeare’s famous question “what is in a name” provokes onomasticians to think beyond a name and apply some analytic philosophy and logic of names, naming and the naming systems. The call for papers to the 2018 NSSA Conference aims at inviting critical reflections on names and naming beyond the borders of traditions of analytic philosophy and logic.
