Meeting Description:

The island of Java is home to several major world 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 its unique speech level system.
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 up to 13 million speakers.

Geography, history, and typology bind these languages with 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, Sasak, or any
non-Malay language spoken on these islands, to come together and share their
findings. We aim to encourage and promote continued research on these
important and unique languages. 

Keynote speakers:  
 - Ika Nurhayani, Universitas Brawijaya, Malang, Indonesia
 - Carly Somerlot, University of Texas at Arlington, USA


Call for Papers: 

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, and Sasak. 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 your name, affiliation, and title
of abstract in the body of the email or a cover page. 

Deadline for submission of abstracts: 12 Noon ET (GMT + 5) February 15, 2021
Announcement of acceptance: March 1, 2021.

***
ISLOJ 8 will be held jointly with ISMIL 24 and SEALS 30.
