Meeting Description:

Important contributions to a variety of subfields of linguistics come from
Asia. Research areas as such include documentary linguistics focusing on
endangered languages and theoretical and empirical linguistics focusing on
Asian languages. Even so, there have been no known venues where junior
linguists across Asian countries can gather to disseminate their research. The
AJL 3 is aiming to provide an active and hospitable environment for discussion
about students’ work in progress for undergraduate and graduate researchers,
with a goal of encouraging and supporting their linguistic research. 

Another goal of AJL 3 is to provide tutorials by professoriate level
researchers whose work can be of interest to the AJL community. This has been
a tradition of the AJL conferences: The theme of AJL 1 tutorials was
linguistic research using ultrasound and the theme of AJL 2 was syntactic
processing. The theme of AJL 3 is methods in the study of articulatory
phonetics. 

Sponsors: Universitas21, Linguistics at HKU

Plenary Speakers:

Michael Yoshitaka Erlewine (National University of Singapore)

Workshop: 

Seunghun Lee (International Christian University)


Call for Papers:
