About the Conference Series
NWAV ASIA-PACIFIC endeavors to bring together research that is firmly based on 
empirical data with an emphasis on the quantitative analysis of variation and change. Its 
priorities are to promote and showcase research on (1) the indigenous languages of the 
Asia-Pacific region, and (2) restructured or contact varieties that have emerged in the Asia-
Pacific region.

NWAV AP 4 welcomes submissions for papers and posters on all scientific approaches to 
analyzing and interpreting language variation and change across the Asia-Pacific region 
including: real-time/apparent-time language change, dialect variation and change, speech 
communities, multilingualism, urbanization and migration, sociophonetics, style-shifting, 
language/dialect contact, variation in minority languages, variation in acquisition, 
perceptual dialectology, and other topics that enrich our understandings of the region and 
its indigenous languages. 

At the first meeting of the conference, NWAV AP established a tradition of showcasing the 
innovative descriptive, philological, historical and socially informed research being 
conducted by emerging and established scholars in some of the world's most fertile arenas 
of language and dialect contact.
 
We look forward to welcoming you to Chiayi, Taiwan in 2016!
