[An-lang] APLL13: Call for Papers (apologies for cross-posting)

[Laura Arnold]

*13th International Austronesian and Papuan Languages and Linguistics
Conference (APLL13). University of Edinburgh (online), 10-12 June 2021.*


The Austronesian and Papuan Languages and Linguistics Research Group is
pleased to announce that its thirteenth international conference – APLL13 –
will be hosted by the University of Edinburgh on 10-12 June, 2021. Owing to
the current pandemic and the unpredictability of travel restrictions, we
plan to hold APLL13 in a fully-online format.


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. APLL13
follows a successful online instantiation of APLL, hosted by the University
of Oslo, as well as 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).


Abstracts for APLL13 are now invited. The Programme Committee welcomes
presentations on any aspect of the languages and linguistics of
Austronesian and Papuan languages, including descriptive linguistics of
individual languages, and comparative and historical studies involving
several of these languages.


Presentations will be 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of discussion.
Each individual may contribute up to 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=apll13.


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
.pdf or .docx format and the filename should start with APLL13, followed by
an underscore and then first author's surname, e.g. APLL13_hamar.pdf. If
you have a common surname, please also include initials, e.g.
APLL13_jjones.pdf. Abstracts will be peer-reviewed by members of the
Programme Committee.


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 2019, 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.
