Meeting Description:

The landscape of Indonesian languages and linguistics is rich and dynamic.
Indonesia is home to about 700 languages, roughly ten percent of the languages
of the world. Among these is Indonesian, an emergent major world language
spoken as a first or second language by some 260 million people. The
instantiation and development of Standard Indonesian as a national language,
the increasing number of Indonesians reporting use of Indonesian as a primary
language, the language contact scenarios between Indonesian and hundreds of
other languages of Indonesia (Austronesian, non-Austronesian and colonial),
and the implication of shift toward Indonesian in the endangerment of hundreds
of languages – these are all part of the dynamic linguistic situation in
Indonesia. Indonesia thus serves as a profoundly important case study for
multilingualism, language endangerment, language documentation, and emerging
new varieties.

The Indonesian Languages and Linguistics: State of the Field conference
(InLaLi) aims to bring together scholars and researchers to assess the state
of the field of study of Indonesian languages and linguistics.

The conference will be structured with open parallel sessions surrounding four
plenary panels, addressing the following key issues:

Language documentation and description:

- What is the state of language documentation and description of the languages
of Indonesia, including new varieties? 
- How does documentation contribute to language description and linguistic
typology and vice versa?  
- What are the best practices for documenting and describing the languages of
Indonesia?

Language use in multilingual contexts:

- How can we characterize the shifting multilingual landscape of Indonesia,
both synchronically and diachronically? 
- What is the relationship between language and identity in different
communities in Indonesia? 
- What are the language ideologies in Indonesia associated with
multilingualism and multilingual language use? 

Language endangerment and vitality:

- What are the factors that support the maintenance of local languages and
what factors accelerate language shift? 
- How can we characterize language endangerment scenarios in Indonesia? 
- What models of language maintenance or revitalization best apply in
Indonesia? 

Emerging varieties of spoken Indonesian:

- How can we provide much needed documentation of emerging spoken varieties?
Are there shared features of emerging varieties that are unexpected
cross-linguistically? 
- Are emerging varieties of spoken Indonesian stable? 
- What is the interaction between regional/emerging Indonesian varieties and
established Malay, Malayic, and Malay-based varieties?  

We are excited to announce the participation of the following scholars:

Jermy Balukh, STIBA Cakrawala Nusantara; Dwi Novi Djenar, University of
Sydney; Michael Ewing, Melbourne University; David Gil, Max Planck Institute
for Social and Human History; Marian Klamer, Leiden University; Eri Kurniawan,
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia; M.T. and Allan Lauder, University of
Indonesia; Bradley McDonnell, University of Hawaii; Nicholas Palfreyman,
University of Lancaster; Bambang Kaswanti Purwo, Atma Jaya Catholic
University; Sonja Rieseberg, University of Cologne & Australia National
University; Antonia Soriente, University of Naples; Kristan Tamtomo, Atma Jaya
University, Yogyakarta

We are exploring options for and expect to publish selected proceedings from
the conference. We also hope to make small, need-based travel grants
available, pending funding.
