First Call for Abstracts

WORKSHOP ON THE LANGUAGES OF PAPUA

8-10 August 2007
Manokwari, Indonesia

***

The Workshop on the Languages of Papua will consist primarily of papers
concerned with languages, either non-Austronesian or Austronesian,
spoken in the western half of the island of New Guinea.  However, we
also encourage contributions dealing with non-Austronesian languages
spoken in other parts of eastern Indonesia and in Papua New Guinea.
Papers may be in any of the subfields of linguistics, and may represent
variegated approaches and diverse theoretical persuasions. Presentations
at the Workshop on the Languages of Papua are to be delivered in English.
