Meeting Description:

6 – 7 July, 2019
Banyuwangi, East Java, Indonesia

The island of Java is home to several major languages. Javanese—spoken mainly
in Central and East Java— is the world’s 10th or 11th largest language in
number of native speakers. It has one of the oldest and fullest recorded
histories of any Austronesian language. It also has been of considerable
interest to scholars because of the system of speech levels or speech styles
found in a number of varieties of Javanese. Sundanese—spoken in West Java— has
over 27 million speakers, and Madurese—spoken on the neighboring island of
Madura and throughout parts of East Java—is the third largest local language,
with counts ranging from 7 to 13 million speakers. Varieties of both of these
languages have speech level systems and such systems can also be found in the
geographically, historically, and linguistically related languages on the
neighboring islands of Bali and Lombok. Each of these languages displays a
range of dialects, isolects, continua, and contact varieties and yet they have
received relatively little attention from linguists. With this symposium, we
offer an opportunity for scholars working on any aspect of Javanese,
Sundanese, Madurese, Balinese and Sasak to come together and share their
findings. We aim to encourage and promote continued research on these
important and unique languages. 

This past year, we lost our friend, fellow linguist, and co-organizer, Bill
Davies.  He was an excellent linguist and enthusiastic scholar of the
languages of Indonesia, particularly Madurese and Javanese.  We will hold this
meeting in his honor, and especially encourage any work focusing on Madurese
or within the research tradition that Bill pioneered.  A special event will be
held at the conference to remember Bill.

offer an opportunity for scholars working on any aspect of Javanese,
Sundanese, Madurese, Balinese, Sasak and any other non-Malay language of the
region, to come together and share their findings. Papers exploring the nature
of Osing, the variety spoken in and around Banyuwangi, are especially welcome.
We aim to encourage and promote continued research on these important and
unique languages.
This past year, we lost our friend, fellow linguist, and co-organizer, Bill
Davies. He was an excellent linguist and enthusiastic scholar of the languages
of Indonesia, particularly Madurese and Javanese. We will hold this meeting in
his honor, and especially encourage any work focusing on Madurese or within
the research tradition that Bill pioneered. A special session with Bill’s
former students and collaborators will be held at ISLOJ 7, please email the
organizers at [isloj.linguistics AT gmail.com] if you are interested in
participating.

Abstracts are invited for papers to be presented on any linguistic topics
dealing with the languages of Java and its environs—Javanese, Sundanese,
Madurese, Balinese, Sasak as well as sign-languages. Papers on other languages
will be judged according to their relevance to the symposium topic. Papers are
welcome from any subfield of linguistics and using any approach or theoretical
background. Studies of non-standard(ized) versions, dialects, and isolects,
including contact varieties, are particularly welcome. All papers are to be
presented in English.

Anonymous abstracts of one-page [data and references may be on a second page]
should be submitted in electronic form (PDF AND MSWord) to [isloj.linguistics
AT gmail.com]. Please indicate name, affiliation, and title of abstract in the
body of the email or a cover page.

We are excited to announce that this will be the first ISLOJ to offer
peer-reviewed proceedings, to
be published with NUSA, Linguistic Studies in and around Indonesia. Any
participant is welcome to
submit their paper for consideration.

Deadline for submission of abstracts: February 15, 2019
Announcement of acceptance: March 1, 2019.

Please note that the 23rd International Symposium on Malay-Indonesian
Linguistics (ISMIL 23) will
