About AFLA:  AFLA is an organization that promotes the study of Austronesian
languages from a formal perspective. Since the initial meeting in 1994, AFLA
has served as a forum for the presentation of new research in all of the core
areas of formal linguistics, including (but not limited to) phonetics,
phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, typology, and
psycholinguistics. AFLA has a history of bringing together leading scholars,
native speaker linguists, and junior scholars in the formal study of
Austronesian languages.

AFLA 25 will take place May 10-12, 2018, at the Institute of Linguistics,
Academia Sinica in Taiwan. This event features the following invited speakers:

Dr. Sandra Chung (UC, Santa Cruz)
Dr. Maria Polinsky (University of Maryland) 
Dr. Eric Potsdam (University of Florida) 
Dr. Kie Zuraw (UCLA)
