East Nusantara languages are spoken, roughly, between Bali and Papua
(Indonesia), and belong to two major families: Austronesian and Papuan.
This year's central themes are:
- Clause integration (organizers: Ger Reesink and Miriam van Staden)
- Possessive constructions (organizers: Marian Klamer and John Bowden)
- Adaptations of Malay (organizer: Lourens de Vries)

The preliminary programme is as follows:
(NB due to the fact that several people will attend both the Malays
conference in Leipzig and the third East Nusantara conference in Leiden,
we have decided to drop the programme for Monday morning to allow for
extra travelling time)

Monday 18 June
          11.00 - 13.00 registration
          13.00 - 17.30 possessive constructions
          17.30 welcome drinks

Tuesday 19 June
            9.30 - 12.30 clause integration
          12.30 - 14.00 lunch break
          14.00 - 17.00 clause integration (continued)

Wednesday 20 June
            9.30 - 12.30 adaptations of Malay
          12.30 - 14.00 lunch break
          14.00 - 17.00 round table discussion

Instead of formal papers, participants are invited to fill out
questionnaires on these three themes and to read in advance the
questionnaires others have filled out. During the workshops these will
be the vantage point for our discussions. The questionnaires are
available for downloading at:

Conference fees are NLG 150,-- for non-students and NLG 75,-- for
students, to be paid at registration on June 18. Fees include the
workshop papers, handouts, coffee/tea and lunches. They
do not cover travel expenses and hotel costs.
