Abstract

This introduction to the special section on African multilingualism introduces and contextualises three contributing articles into the recently growing research area of small-scale multilingualism. This article does so by briefly characterising the contribution of Africanist work from the author’s perspective as a Papuanist, and contends that the articles in the special section exhibit features in line with Africanist small-scale multilingualism research.
