INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON NEW GUINEA LANGUAGES AND LINGUISTICS.
The University Cenderawasih in Irian Jaya, Indonesia, in cooperation
with the University of Papua New Guinea, is hosting an international
conference on New Guinea Languages and Linguistics in Jayapura from 28
August through 2 September 1995. The goal of the conference is to bring
together linguists, language educators, and other interested members of
the public to discuss and share with each other the knowledge linguists
have made available from field research on Irian Jaya and Papua New
Guinea languages, as well as language related issues that directly or
indirectly affect the social, cultural, and educational development of
these different languages. Concerns over the preservation of the
languages of the region will also receive attention, and native speakers
of local languages will be present to share their views about the status
of their languages.
The conference will be opened by the Hon. Dr. Wardiman Djojonegoro,
Minister of Education of Indonesia, and keynote addresses will be given
by Dr. Kenneth L. Pike, (President Emeritus of SIL International), Mr.
Apoi Yarapea (President of the Linguistic Society of Papua New Guinea),
Prof. Harimurti Kridalaksana (President of the Indonesian Linguistic
Society), Prof. William A. Foley (President of the Australian Linguistic
Society).
Prospective presenters should submit an abstract and curriculum vitae by
15 June to the address below. Full papers will be due July 30.
Registration is due by 31 May for presenters and 30 June for
participants.
