Sumario: | This book delves into the linguistic and cultural aspects of 'Kaaps,' a variety of Afrikaans primarily spoken in the Western Cape of South Africa. It is a collection of essays originally presented at a symposium focused on this dialect, exploring its historical roots, contemporary usage, and future potential. The book is divided into two sections: linguistic reflections on Kaaps and its contextual applications in literature, education, and the economy. The authors aim to highlight the significance of Kaaps as both a symbol of cultural identity and a tool for empowerment. The book serves as a resource for linguists, educators, and anyone interested in the sociolinguistic dynamics of South Africa.
