The Linguistics Department at the University of Michigan is hosting the 5th Afrikaans Grammar Workshop (AGW5) in a fully virtual format on September 5-6. AGW is the premier international conference on the linguistics of Afrikaans. This year's conference features presentations from scholars in the US, Europe and South Africa on topics including language acquisition, generative syntax, morphology, historical linguistics, and more. The conference features two keynote presentations, including one by U-M alum Paul Roberge (on whether Afrikaans should be regarded a creole language).

Registration is free and open to anyone. To accommodate participants from multiple different international time zones, the conference unfortunately has to start early for anyone in the US (7 am EDT).

Conference times:
- Friday 9/5, 7 am to 12:45 pm EDT
- Saturday 9/6, 7 am to 11:30 am EDT
