*CALL FOR PAPERS (Deadline: 30 Apr 2012)*
We are pleased to announce that the 45th International Conference on
Sino-Tibetan Languages and Linguistics (ICSTLL45) will be held in Singapore
on 26-28 October 2012, hosted by Nanyang Technological University. Scholars
are invited to submit abstracts of papers dealing with any aspect of
linguistics of relevance to research on Sino-Tibetan languages. This
encompasses descriptions of phonetics & phonology, morphology, syntax,
discourse studies, semantics & pragmatics, language documentation and
typology, as well as field reports of recently researched languages. In
addition, abstracts of papers dealing with the history of the
Sino-Tibetan-speaking region, population movements, genetic studies,
anthropological studies, and the consequences of contact with languages
belonging to other linguistic families are invited for submission.
Abstracts for the main sessions of ICSTLL45 should be of no more than 350
words, including references and examples, and must be submitted
electronically via Easychair:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icstll45. Submission
requirements are outlined on the ‘Instructions for authors’ page of the
conference website.

*PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS*
Two pre-conference workshops on Austroasiatic and Miao-Yao languages are
planned for 25 October 2012, the day before the main sessions of ICSTLL45
begin. The deadline for the submission of workshop abstracts is *30 April
2012*. These should be written in English using a 12 point font and must
not exceed 350 words, including references and examples. Please submit your
abstract as a Word .doc *and* as a .pdf file – a .pdf converter is
available as freeware from www.cutepdf.com. The .pdf file should omit all
references that might identify the author, to ensure that the submitted
abstract can be blind-refereed.

Paul Sidwell (Australian National University) will be coordinating the
workshop on Austroasiatic languages. If you are interested in presenting a
paper in this workshop, please send your abstract to
Paul.Sidwell at anu.edu.auand copy your email to
