share their research. <br><br>Call for Papers <br><br>ISLOJ 2 <br>The Second International Symposium on The Languages of Java <br><br>4-5 June 2009 <br>Sheraton Senggigi Beach Resort, Senggigi, Lombok, Indonesia <br><br>Keynote Speakers: <br>
Dr. Thomas Hunter: The interaction of irrealis with the symmetrical voice system <br>of Old Javanese. <br>Dr. Husni Muadz, Universitas Negri Mataram: A topic on Sasak TBA <br><br>The island of Java is home to several major languages. Javanese -- spoken mainly <br>
in Central and East Java -- is the world's 10th or 11th largest language in <br>number of native speakers. It has one of the oldest and fullest recorded <br>histories of any Austronesian language. It also has been of considerable <br>
interest to scholars because of the system of speech levels or speech styles <br>found in a number of varieties of Javanese. Sundanese -- spoken in West Java -- <br>has over 27 million speakers, and Madurese -- spoken on the neighboring island <br>
of Madura and throughout parts of East Java -- has over 13 million speakers. <br>Varieties of both of these languages have speech level systems and such systems <br>can also be found in the geographically, historically, and linguistically <br>
related languages on the neighboring islands of Bali and Lombok. Each of these <br>languages displays a range of dialects, isolects, continua, and contact <br>varieties and yet they have received relatively little attention from linguists. <br>
With this symposium, we offer an opportunity for scholars working on any aspect <br>of Javanese, Sundanese, Madurese, Balinese and Sasak to come together and share <br>their findings. We aim to encourage and promote continued research on these <br>
important and unique languages. <br><br>Abstracts are invited for papers to be presented on any linguistic topics <br>dealing with the languages of Java and its environs -- Javanese, Sundanese, <br>Madurese, Balinese, and Sasak. Given the location of the conference, papers on <br>
Sasak are especially encouraged. Papers on other languages will be judged <br>according to their relevance to the symposium topic. Papers are welcome from any <br>subfield of linguistics and using any approach or theoretical background. <br>
Studies of non-standard(ized) versions, dialects, and isolects, including <br>contact varieties, are particularly welcome. All papers are to be presented in <br>English. <br><br>Persons wishing to present papers at the symposium are invited to submit a <br>
one-page [data and references may be on a second page] abstract in electronic <br>form (PDF AND MSWord) to Thomas Conners at the following address: <br>oranghutan<img src="http://linguistlist.org/images/address-marker.gif" align="absBottom"><a href="http://cbn.net.id">cbn.net.id</a> <br>
<br>Deadline for submission of abstracts: March 1, 2009 <br><br>Please note that the 13th International Symposium on Malay-Indonesian <br>Linguistics (ISMIL 13) will be held immediately following ISLOJ, also at the <br>Sheraton Senggigi Beach Resort, on 6-7 June, 2009.
