Meeting Description:

The Department of Linguistics at Harvard University will host the 18th 
annual meeting of the Austronesian Formal Linguistics Association.  The 
conference dates are March 4-6, 2011.

AFLA is an organization which promotes the study of Austronesian 
languages from a formal perspective. We will elicit talks on all aspects of 
formal linguistics (e.g. language acquisition, morphology, phonology, 
phonetics, semantics, syntax) of Austronesian languages. Also, this year we 
will incorporate a historical linguistics component. In addition to promoting 
the formal study of Austronesian languages, we especially encourage work 
by speaker-linguists and junior scholars.

Invited Speakers:

Prof. Robert A. Blust
Department of Linguistics
University of Hawai'i at Manoa

Prof. Manfred Krifka
Institute for German Language and Linguistics, Humboldt University, Berlin
Director, Center for General Linguistics, Berlin 

Call For Papers

Abstracts are invited for 30 minute talks (20+10) or poster presentations on 
any aspect of formal  linguistics (morphology, phonetics, phonology, syntax, 
semantics) of any Austronesian language(s).  Abstracts on the historical 
linguistics of any Austronesian language(s) are also invited. Submission  
limitations are one singly-authored abstract and one jointly-authored 
abstract, or two jointly-authored  abstracts per applicant. Abstracts should 
be limited to a maximum of two Letter-sized (or A4) pages (for text, 
examples, trees, tableaux, and references), with margins of one inch and in 
12 pt. type.
