Meeting Description:

ICSTLL is the premier international conference to do with the languages and
linguistics of the Sino-Tibetan (= Trans-Himalayan) language family, now in
its 52nd year.


2nd Call for Papers:

Papers are invited which address any aspect of the languages and linguistics
of the Sino-Tibetan language family. This includes, but is not necessarily
limited to, phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics,
sociolinguistics, typology, and documentation, including field reports. Papers
are also welcomed which address the study of languages which may fall outside
of Sino-Tibetan, but which may be or have been in contact with Sino-Tibetan
languages, when language contact or genealogical relationship is also a focus
of the paper.

Confirmed speakers:

- Scott DeLancey (University of Oregon)
- Tian-Shin Jackson Sun (Academia Sinica)
- James A. Matisoff (University of California at Berkeley)

To submit an abstract:

- abstracts should be no more than 500 words, single-spaced, exclusive of data
and references (if any)
- abstracts should be written in English
- abstracts should be submitted via Easychair.org:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icstll52
- the submission deadline for abstracts is April 5, 2019
- notification will be approximately two weeks afterward

In observance of 2019 as the UNESCO International Year of Indigenous
Languages, we particularly welcome papers specifically addressing the study
and conservation of the many minority and Indigenous languages falling within
the Sino-Tibetan family, and papers authored by a native member of a minority
or Indigenous language community within the Sino-Tibetan language area. To
facilitate this, a number of travel bursaries will be made available for (a)
scholars and/or students from Southeast Asian nations (b) scholars and/or
students who are native speakers/members of a minority and/or Indigenous
language/community of Mainland Asia, prioritizing languages/communities of the
Himalayan region (broadly defined). Application for travel bursaries will take
place after the abstract selection process; only authors of papers whose
abstracts have been accepted for presentation at the conference will be
invited to apply.

In conjunction with the 25th Himalayan Languages Symposium (to be held January
28-29 at the University of Sydney), a day of Workshops will additionally be
held on January 27.
