Meeting Description:

6 – 7 July, 2019
Banyuwangi, East Java, Indonesia

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. 

This past year, we lost our friend, fellow linguist, and co-organizer, Bill
Davies.  He was an excellent linguist and enthusiastic scholar of the
languages of Indonesia, particularly Madurese and Javanese.  We will hold this
meeting in his honor, and especially encourage any work focusing on Madurese
or within the research tradition that Bill pioneered.  A special event will be
held at the conference to remember Bill.
