Between May 15 and 17, 2025, the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities hosted the 56th Annual Conference on African Linguistics, a conference dedicated to scholarship on African Linguistics. Prof. Samuel Akinbo gave a plenary talk entitled, “Iconicity as a motivation for phonological alternation”. He also gave research talks co-authored with Dr. Nkechi Ukaegbu (Ruhr University Bochum), with Michael Bulkaam (UofT MA Student), and with our undergraduate students Cas Duarte, Natasha Vujičić and Alyssa Vorobey.
