Meeting Description:

The Himalayan Languages Symposium is the premier international conference to
do with the languages, linguistics, and ethno-linguistics of the
Trans-Himalayan area, now in its 25th year. HLS25 will be hosted by the
University of Sydney Department of Linguistics, and co-organized by Mark W.
Post, Gwendolyn Hyslop, and Yankee Modi.


2nd Call for Papers:

Papers are invited which address any aspect of the languages and linguistics
of the Trans-Himalayan area. This includes, but is not necessarily limited to,
phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics,
sociolinguistics, typology, and documentation, including field reports and
empirically-based ethnographic studies. We also welcome submissions from other
fields (such as history, archaeology, ethnobotany, genetics and anthropology)
which can relate to the history and development of Himalayan languages. Papers
are not limited to the Trans-Himalayan language family, but may treat any
language traditionally spoken within the Trans-Himalayan area, including
Indo-Aryan, Tai-Kadai, Austro-Asiatic, and Hmong-Mien languages, as well as
isolates, pidgins and creoles.

Confirmed speakers:

- Jade d’Alpiom Guedes (University of California at San Diego)
- George van Driem (University of Berne)

To submit an abstract:

- abstracts should be no more than 500 words, single-spaced, exclusive of data
and references (if any)
- abstracts should be written in English
- abstracts should be submitted via Easychair.org:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hls25
- the submission deadline for abstracts is April 5, 2019
- notification will be approximately two weeks afterward

In observance of this International Year of Indigenous Languages, we
particularly welcome papers specifically addressing the study and conservation
of the many minority and Indigenous languages falling within the
Trans-Himalayan area, and papers authored by a native member of a minority or
Indigenous language community within this area. To facilitate this, a small
number of travel bursaries will be made available for (a) scholars and/or
students from Southeast Asian nations (b) scholars and/or students who are
native speakers/members of a minority and/or Indigenous language/community of
Mainland Asia, prioritizing languages/communities of the Himalayan region
(broadly defined). Application for travel bursaries will take place after the
abstract selection process; only authors of papers whose abstracts have been
accepted for presentation at the conference will be eligible to apply.

In conjunction with the 52nd International Conference on Sino-Tibetan
Languages and Linguistics (to be held January 24-26 at the University of
Sydney), a day of Workshops will additionally be held on January 27.
