Faculty of Humanities: EB van Wyk Honorary Linguistics Public lecture

Date: 22 February 2012
Time: 18:30 for 19:00
Venue: Council Chambers, Madibeng Building, APK Campus, University of Johannesburg
Keynote speaker: Prof Neville Alexander
Topic: The centrality of the language question in the social sciences and humanities in the new South Africa

You are cordially invited to the first EB van Wyk Honorary Linguistics Public Lecture hosted by the Departments of Linguistics and African Languages. With this series of public lectures, we hope to contribute in a linguistically responsible way to the debate on language matters in these times of social transformation. 

Linguistics has been part and parcel of the Faculty of Humanities since the establishment of the former RAU some four decades ago. At the time, the Department of Linguistics was established by Prof EB van Wyk, who – with a Doctorate in Bantu Linguistics – soon became one of South Africa’s noted linguists. This series of linguistics lectures is dedicated to Prof van Wyk for establishing a tradition of excellence in linguistics research at this institution.

If you require any additional information regarding the public lecture, please email Prof Anne-Marie Beukes at ambeukes@uj.ac.za or Prof Lionel Posthumus at lionelp@uj.ac.za.

Fakulteit Geesteswetenskappe: EB van Wyk Linguistiek-erelesing

Datum: 22 Februarie 2012
Tyd: 18:30 vir 19:00
Lokaal: Raadsaal, Madibeng-gebou, APK-kampus, Universiteit Johannesburg
Gasspreker: Prof Neville Alexander
Onderwerp: The centrality of the language question in the social sciences and humanities in the new South Africa

U word vriendelik uitgenooi na die eerste EB van Wyk Linguistiek-erelesing aangebied deur die Departement Linguistiek en die Departement Afrikatale. Met hierdie lesingreeks hoop ons om ‘n sinvolle bydrae te lewer tot die eietydse gesprek oor taalsake te midde van die eise wat ‘n transformerende samelewing stel.

Die beoefening van die taalwetenskap het sedert die vestiging van die eertydse RAU, sowat vier dekades gelede, ’n integrale deel van die Fakulteit Geesteswetenskappe in sy verskillende gedaantes gevorm. Die Departement Linguistiek is destyds  deur prof EB Van Wyk gevestig, wat – met ’n doktorsgraad in die Bantoetaalkunde – spoedig een van Suid-Afrika se vooraanstaande linguiste geword het. Hierdie lesings wil eer betoon aan Diek van Wyk wat ’n tradisie van uitnemendheid in taalkundige navorsing aan hierdie instelling gevestig het.  

Verdere inligting oor die openbare lesing kan verkry word van prof Anne-Marie Beukes by ambeukes@uj.ac.za of prof Lionel Posthumus by lionelp@uj.ac.za
