<p>We will elicit talks on all aspects of formal linguistics (e.g.
language acquisition, morphology, phonology, phonetics, semantics,
syntax) of Austronesian languages. In addition to promoting the formal
study of Austronesian languages, we especially encourage work by
speaker-linguists and junior scholars. <br>
</p><p><b>Abstracts</b> are invited for 20-minute talks (plus 10 minutes
for discussion) on any aspect of formal linguistics (morphology,
phonetics, phonology, syntax, semantics) of any Austronesian
language(s). Abstracts on experimental or psycholinguistic research of
any Austronesian language(s) are also invited. Submission limitations
are one singly-authored abstract and one jointly-authored abstract, or
two jointly-authored abstracts per applicant. Abstracts should be
limited to a maximum of two Letter-sized (or A4) pages (for text,
