Papers presented at ISMIL are concerned with the Malay/Indonesian language
in any of its varieties. In addition to the standardized versions of Bahasa
Melayu/Bahasa Malaysia and Bahasa Indonesia, papers are particularly
welcome dealing with non-canonical isolects such as regional dialects of
Malay and Indonesian, contact and heritage varieties, as well as other
closely related Malayic languages. Papers may be in any of the subfields of
linguistics, and may represent variegated approaches and diverse
theoretical frameworks. Presentations at ISMIL are delivered in English.



ISMIL29 will feature a special session in which the genesis and
classification of Malay/Indonesian varieties as contact varieties will be
discussed, including the still controversial question of prior creolization.



We also encourage the submission of papers on the phonetics and/or
phonology of Malay/Indonesian and related Malayic varieties.



The program will feature the following invited plenary speakers:

Abigail C. Cohn (Cornell University)

James T. Collins (National University of Malaysia and Northern Illinois
University)



Persons wishing to present a paper at the symposium are invited to submit
an anonymous one-page abstract (preferably in pdf) to



ismil29.tampere at outlook.com.



Please indicate your name, affiliation, and the title of your abstract in
the body of your email message. Your abstract should include the title of
your presentation, without personal identifiers. Data and references may
appear on a second page.



Deadline for submission of abstracts: 28 February 2026
