Meeting Description:

The purpose of the APLL conferences is to provide a venue for presentation of
the best current research on Austronesian and Papuan languages and linguistics
and to promote collaboration and research in this area. APLL12 follows
previous APLL conferences held in Leiden, Surrey, Paris and London, and the
Austronesian Languages and Linguistics (ALL) conferences held at SOAS and St
Catherine's College, Oxford (see
https://sites.google.com/view/apllconference/previous-upcoming-conferences).


Call for Papers:

Abstracts for APLL12 are now invited. Presentations will be 20 minutes
followed by 10 minutes of discussion. Each individual may contribute to up two
submissions, one of which may be a single-author paper. Abstracts must be
submitted via the EasyChair system which you can access at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=apll12​
If you do not have an EasyChair account already, you will need to create one
when you do this. Once logged in, complete your details and upload your
abstract as an attachment (pdf or docx).

Abstracts must be no more than one A4 page in length, including all material
such as references, examples, figures, tables, and maps. Abstracts must be
anonymous, and set in a minimum of 12pt font.  They should be in .docx or .pdf
format and the filename should start with APLL12, followed by an underscore
and then first author’s surname, e.g. APLL12_hamar.pdf. If you have a common
surname, please also include initials, e.g. APLL11_jjones.pdf. Abstracts will
be peer-reviewed by members of the Programme Committee.

The Programme Committee welcomes presentations in the field of descriptive
linguistics of individual Austronesian and Papuan languages, as well as
comparative and historical studies involving several of these languages.

The conference will contain two thematic sessions on:

1) Information structure and the role of prominence in grammar

2) The interface between language documentation and experimental
methodologies​

Authors who want to present in one of these thematic sessions should indicate
so in their abstracts.

A selected early career researcher will be invited to address the plenary in
an invited talk. BA, MA or PhD students, as well as researchers who have
received their PhD after January 2018, are especially invited are invited to
submit an abstract and to indicate that they wish to be considered for the
early career researcher plenary session; this can be indicated as part of the
submission process in EasyChair. The early career plenary speaker will be
selected from the abstracts indicating this, and will be invited to give a
45-minute plenary talk at the conference.

Key Dates:

Abstract submission deadline: Friday 22 November 2019
Notification of acceptance: Friday 10 January 2020
Conference: Thursday 18 June - Saturday 20 June 2020
