7th European Australianists workshop

[Peter Austin]

The 7th European Australianist workshop will be held at SOAS in London on 3rd and 4th April 2012. 


The purpose of the workshop is to provide a venue for the presentation and discussion on current research on Australian languages. As in previous workshops a theme is suggested: “Contact phenomena in Australian languages”.  However, participants are free to present papers not related to this theme, and we welcome contributions relating to any aspect of Australian languages,  from any perspective.

Confirmed speakers include

Eva Schultze-Berndt, University of Manchester
William McGregor, University of Arhus
Peter Austin, SOAS

They should be set in a minimum of 12pt font. They should be in .doc or .pdf format and the filename should start with 7_EAW, followed by an underscore and then first authors’ surname, eg. 7_EAW_bloggs.doc.
