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.  More information is available at:

Abstracts are now invited. Presentations will be 20 minutes followed by 10 minutes of discussion. Each individual may present up to one single authored paper and one joint paper.

The 2019 conference will contain two thematic sessions on:

1)         Traces of contact in the lexicon
2)         New methods in field data collection and analysis

Authors who want to present in one of these thematic sessions should indicate so in their abstracts.

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 May 2017, are especially invited to submit abstract indicating they should be considered for the early career researcher plenary session. 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.
