He was subsequently provost and vice-president for academic affairs at Youngstown State University, Ohio. He famously organized the linguistics conference, "Sociolinguistics in Africa", in January/February 1990, at the University of the Witwatersrand, during which conference the African National Congress was unbanned. His academic work extended to an important hypothesis on the genesis and transmission of "", that is, the complex system of linguistic avoidance traditionally acquired by married Xhosa women (also called the Xhosa women's "language of respect"). * v * t * e (en)
