        <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
