Symposiums
Biennial International Symposium on Place Names
The Department of South African Sign Language and Deaf Studies, in partnership with the Joint
IGU/ICA Commission on Toponymy , is hosting the biennial International Symposium on Place Names from 29 September until 1 October 2021.
The vision of the International Symposium on Place Names series is to advance research on place names and to provide a platform for international collaboration in this regard. As such, in addition to the symposium, a workshop on documenting place names for both practitioners and researchers will directly precede the symposium.
Research on signed place names have been included in this series since the previous symposium in 2019.
