Meeting Description:

The island of Java is home to several major languages. Javanese, spoken mainly
in Central and East Java, is the world’s 10th or 11th largest language in
number of native speakers. It has one of the oldest and fullest recorded
histories of any Austronesian language. It also has been of considerable
interest to scholars because of the system of speech levels or speech styles
found in a number of varieties of Javanese. Sundanese, spoken in West Java,
has over 27 million speakers, and Madurese, spoken on the neighboring island
of Madura and throughout parts of East Java, is the third largest local
language, with counts ranging from 7 to 13 million speakers. Varieties of both
of these languages have speech level systems and such systems can also be
found in the geographically, historically, and linguistically related
languages on the neighboring islands of Bali and Lombok. Each of these
languages displays a range of dialects, isolects, continua, and contact
varieties and yet they have received relatively little attention from
linguists. With this symposium, we offer an opportunity for scholars working
on any aspect of Javanese, Sundanese, Madurese, Balinese and Sasak to come
together and share their findings. We aim to encourage and promote continued
research on these important and unique languages.
