Abstract

Lawrie Barnes https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7555-8146 Editor University of South Africa barnela47@gmail.com Two of the titles of the articles in this issue begin with the word Challenges, reminding us that Africa faces many challenges. Yet all of them have been eclipsed and exacerbated by the threat of COVID-19. As we all prepare ourselves to face this challenge, we realise that this is a time to put aside our differences and work together. We also become acutely aware of our human limitations and our dependence on our Maker.

期刊介绍： The purpose of Language Matters is to provide a journal of international standing with a unique African flavour focusing on multilingualism in Africa. Although the journal contributes to the language debate on all African languages, sub-Saharan Africa and issues related to multilingualism in the southern African context are the journal’s specific domains. The journal seeks to promote the dissemination of ideas, points of view, teaching strategies and research on different aspects of African languages, providing a forum for discussion on the whole spectrum of language usage and debate in Africa. The journal endorses a multidisciplinary approach to the study of language and welcomes contributions not only from sociolinguists, psycholinguists and the like, but also from educationalists, language practitioners, computer analysts, engineers or scholars with a genuine interest in and contribution to the study of language. All contributions are critically reviewed by at least two referees. Although the general focus remains on multilingualism and related issues, one of the three issues of Language Matters published each year is a special thematic edition on Language Politics in Africa. These special issues embrace a wide spectrum of language matters of current relevance in Southern Africa.
