<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;">Dr. Thomas Hunter: The <span style="" lang="IN">interaction of irrealis with the symmetrical
voice system of <span style=""> </span><span style=""> </span>Old Javanese.</span> </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">island</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Java</st1:placename></st1:place>
is home to several major languages.<span style="">
</span>Javanese—spoken mainly in Central and <st1:place w:st="on">East Java</st1:place>—
is the world’s 10<sup>th</sup> or 11<sup>th</sup> largest language in number of
native speakers.<span style=""> </span>It has one of the
oldest and fullest recorded histories of any Austronesian language.<span style=""> </span>It also has been of considerable interest to
scholars because of the system of speech levels or speech styles found in a
number of varieties of Javanese. <span style=""> </span>Sundanese—spoken in West Java— has over 27
million speakers, and Madurese—spoken on the neighboring <st1:placetype w:st="on">island</st1:placetype>
of <st1:placename w:st="on">Madura</st1:placename> and throughout parts of <st1:place w:st="on">East Java</st1:place>—has over 13 million speakers. <span style=""> </span>Varieties of both of these languages have
speech level systems and such systems can also be found in the geographically,
historically, and linguistically related languages on the neighboring islands
of Bali and <st1:place w:st="on">Lombok</st1:place>. <span style=""> </span>Each of these languages displays a range of
dialects, isolects, continua, and contact varieties and yet they have received
relatively little attention from linguists.<span style="">
</span>With this symposium, we offer an opportunity for scholars working on any
aspect of Javanese, Sundanese, Madurese, Balinese and Sasak to come together
and share their findings.<span style=""> </span>We aim to
encourage and promote continued research on these important and unique
languages.<span style=""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Abstracts are invited for papers
to be presented on any linguistic topics dealing with the languages of Java and
its environs—Javanese, Sundanese, Madurese, Balinese, and Sasak.<span style=""> </span>Given the location of the conference, papers
on Sasak are especially encouraged.<span style="">
</span>Papers on other languages will be judged according to their relevance to
the symposium topic.<span style=""> </span>Papers are welcome
from any subfield of linguistics and using any approach or theoretical
background.<span style=""> </span>Studies of
non-standard(ized) versions, dialects, and isolects, including contact
varieties, are particularly welcome.<span style=""> </span>All
papers are to be presented in English.</p>
