*Linguistic Society of Papua New Guinea Conference 2021*

 

hosted by SIL-PNG at Ukarumpa, Eastern Highlands Province, September 21-22,
2021.

 

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

 

The 53rd Conference of the Linguistic Society of Papua New Guinea will take
place on September 21-22, 2021, at the SIL headquarters in Ukarumpa EHP. We
will be hosting a hybrid conference, with virtual and in-person attendance
and presentations. Joining us virtually as the plenary speaker will be Lise
Dobrin, from the University of Virginia, USA. Dr Dobrin is a professor of
Anthropological Linguistics and inspires us to examine the sociolinguistic
and anthropological contexts of languages and their speakers.

 

LSPNG 2021 aims to provide a venue for an exchange of ideas on the value of
indigenous languages in Melanesia. To do this, we want to encourage the
documentation and description of under-represented languages, as well as the
linguistics and sociolinguistics of creoles like Tok Pisin. Papers are
invited which deal with the details of languages spoken in the South
Pacific, papers on the sociolinguistics, linguistics, multi-lingualism,
anthropology, literacy and education, ethnomusicology or applied linguistics
of these languages. Papuan and Austronesian languages interact in dramatic
linguistic diversity in PNG, from firmly established to highly endangered.
We especially encourage PNG researchers to submit an abstract and join the
discussion.

 

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION

 

We invite abstracts for 20-minute presentations. Abstracts should be set in
a minimum of 12pt font, and should be only one A4 page in length, including
examples; references can be on a second page. State the main point of your
presentation, and after making your arguments, summarise the significance of
your research and further study needed. They should be in Word (.docx) or
PDF format and should be anonymous; don't include your name on the page.

The filename should start with LSPNG2021, followed by an underscore and then
the first three words of the title of your presentation, e.g.

LSPNG2021_kopefuturetense. Please submit your abstract electronically to
ld-linguistics_png at sil.org <mailto:ld-linguistics_png at sil.org>  by June 4,
2021. Abstracts will be peer-reviewed by members of the organising
committee. Submitting authors will be notified of abstract acceptance within
two weeks of the submission date.
