Formal Approaches to South Asian Languages 16 (FASAL 16) will be hosted by the Linguistics Program at the University of South Carolina.

FASAL reaches out to all researchers that do high-quality linguistic study of any South Asian language adopting a wide range of methodologies. We welcome submissions on under-researched and/or endangered South Asian languages in areas including, but not limited to phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, computational linguistics, psycholinguistics, and historical linguistics. We particularly encourage submissions from researchers located in South Asia.

In the interest of including as many colleagues from around the world as possible, this year FASAL will have both an in-person component on April 10-11, 2026 at the USC campus in Columbia, SC and a fully online component on April 18, 2026. Researchers submitting abstracts should indicate for which component(s) they are would like to be considered.

Mini-workshop:
This year FASAL will feature a special mini-workshop focused on the prosody-syntax interface. Recent work both within and outside South Asian languages has productively addressed interface phenomena such as focus and phrasal prominence, question intonation, ellipsis, and word order. We welcome research advancing these or any other topics of relevance to prosody-syntax connections in any South Asian language.
