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: 
Maria Polinsky, University of Maryland 
Dwi Novi Djenar, University of Sydney 

A Special Joint ISLOJ/ISMIL Session will be held on m/Minimalism in
ISMIL/ISLOJ Languages. Please see the website for more information and keynote
speakers.  Please indicate in your abstract if you would like to participate
in this special session.   
 
ISLOJ 9 will be held jointly with ISMIL 26.  ISMIL 26 runs May 18 – 19. The
symposia will be oriented to in person participants but will offer a hybrid
option for those who are unable to attend in person.
