11th International Austronesian and Papuan Languages and Linguistics Conference (APLL11): Leiden University, 13-15 June 2019

The Austronesian and Papuan Languages and Linguistics Research Group is pleased to announce that its eleventh international conference – APLL11 – will be held at Leiden University on 13-15 June 2019. 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. APLL11 follows last year's highly successful APLL10 held in Surrey, previous APLL conferences held in 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/home).
