        The Twenty-Fourth <br>
        INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON MALAY/INDONESIAN LINGUISTICS <br>
        (ISMIL 24) <br>
        <br>
        15-17 May 2020 <br>
        Honolulu, Hawai'i, USA <br>
        <br>
        *** <br>
        <br>
        Papers presented at ISMIL are concerned with the
        Malay/Indonesian language in
        any of its varieties.  In addition to the standardized versions
        of Bahasa
        Melayu and Bahasa Indonesia, papers are particularly welcome
        dealing with
        non-canonical isolects such as regional dialects of Malay and
        Indonesian,
        contact varieties, and other closely related Malayic languages. 
        Papers
        may be in any of the subfields of linguistics, and may represent
        variegated
        approaches and diverse theoretical persuasions. Presentations at
        ISMIL are
        delivered in English. <br>
        <br>
        *** <br>
        <br>
        Persons wishing to present a paper at the symposium are invited
        to submit a
        one-page abstract in electronic form (preferably pdf, but MsWord
        also
        acceptable) to David Gil at the following address: <br>

        varieties of
        Indonesian, Javanese and other ISLOJ/ISMIL languages have been
        described as
        conforming to the general Western-Malayo Polynesian
        (Indonesian-type language)
        typological pattern characterized by moderately agglutinating
        morphology,
        symmetric voice systems, and fixed SVO word order.
        Alternatively, they have
        been described as languages with free word order, more isolating
        morphology,
        and no or few lexical category distinctions—typologically more
        like mainland
        SEA languages. Part of this discrepancy arises from the
        difference between
        standard and non-standard varieties. Malay is a macro-language
        that encompasses
        a range of native Malay varieties spoken in and around the Malay
        Peninsula,
        Sumatra, and Borneo; other varieties are based on a lingua
        franca Malay spoken
        throughout the Indonesian archipelago; modern colloquial
        Indonesian varieties;
        and the highly structured and standardized Indonesian. Javanese,
        by contrast,
        has many regional varieties, but its standard variety is based
        on a prestige
        variety spoken in the region of traditional political and
        cultural power. The
        existence of this range of varieties has led to much research
        around the
        question of how minimalist ISMIL/ISLOJ languages are from a
        typological
        perspective, especially the non-standard varieties (inter alia
        Gil 2001, 2005,
        2013, 2015; Conners, Bowden, and Gil 2015; Jackendoff and
        Wittenberg 2014;
        Enfield 2017; Polinsky and Potsdam In Press) Not only are these
        varieties
        relevant for a cross-linguistic understanding and accounts of
        language
        complexity, the typological profile of ISMIL/ISLOJ varieties
        also raises
        challenges for how best to account in various theoretical
        frameworks, such as
        in Minimalism (Chomsky 1995, ff). This special joint ISMIL/ISLOJ
        session
        invites papers to address these issues surrounding minimalism
