<br>
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>
<br>
gil AT shh.mpg.de <br>
<br>
Deadline for submission of abstracts: 14 February 2020</span></p>

mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-fareast-language:JA">Different
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
and/or Minimalism
in light of any of the following questions: </span></p>
