<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">Dr. Thomas Hunter: The
<span style="" lang="IN">interaction of irrealis with the symmetrical
voice system of <span style=""> </span><span

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">island</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Java</st1:PlaceName></st1:place> is home to several major
languages.<span style=""> </span>Javanese—spoken mainly in
Central and <st1:place w:st="on">East Java</st1:place>— is the world’s
10<sup>th</sup>
or 11<sup>th</sup> largest language in number of native speakers.<span
style=""> </span>It has one of the oldest and fullest recorded
histories of any Austronesian language.<span style="">
</span>It also has been of considerable interest to scholars because of
the
system of speech levels or speech styles found in a number of varieties
of
Javanese. <span style=""> </span>Sundanese—spoken in West Java—
has over 27 million speakers, and Madurese—spoken on the neighboring <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">island</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Madura</st1:PlaceName>
and throughout parts of <st1:place w:st="on">East Java</st1:place>—has
over 13
million speakers. <span style=""> </span>Varieties of both of
these languages have speech level systems and such systems can also be
found in
the geographically, historically, and linguistically related languages
on the
neighboring islands of Bali and <st1:place w:st="on">Lombok</st1:place>.
<span style=""> </span>Each of these languages displays a range of
dialects, isolects, continua, and contact varieties and yet they have
received
relatively little attention from linguists.<span style="">
</span>With this symposium, we offer an opportunity for scholars
working on any
aspect of Javanese, Sundanese, Madurese, Balinese and Sasak to come
together
and share their findings.<span style=""> </span>We aim to
encourage and promote continued research on these important and unique
languages.<span style=""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">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.<span style=""> </span>Given the location of the
conference, papers on Sasak are especially encouraged.<span style=""> </span>Papers
on other languages will be judged
according to their relevance to the symposium topic.<span style=""> </span>Papers
are welcome from any subfield of linguistics
and using any approach or theoretical background.<span style=""> </span>Studies
of non-standard(ized) versions,
dialects, and isolects, including contact varieties, are particularly
welcome.<span style=""> </span>All papers are to be presented
in English.</p>
