Meeting Description:

Linguistic Anthropology 2019, in Cambodia, we announce The CALA 2020, February
5-8, 2020, at The University Putra Malaysia, Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia.  

Purpose and Structure - The CALA 2020 invites Linguists, Anthropologists,
Linguistic and Cultural Anthropologists, Culturologists, Sociologists,
Political Scientists, and those in related fields pertinent to Asia.

Details - The University Putra Malaysia, Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia, February
5-8, 2020

Partners:

- The American Anthropological Association (Official Partner)
- Taylor and Francis Global Publishers (Official Publishing Partner)
- 60 academic institutions globally (Nanyang Technological University,
University of Hawai'i, Temple University, University College London, SOAS,
Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Indian Institute of Anthropologists, and so
forth).
- Scientific Committee of over 100 academics globally prominent in Linguistic
Anthropology and related fields

Theme -  Themed Asian Text, Global Context, The CALA 2020 will represent over
300 years of East-West global interaction, communication, and
transnationalism. Throughout, symbolisms of Asian 'texts' have been
significantly emphasized, (re)interpreted, contested, and distorted, while
employed for cultural and political purpose. Asian texts have become highly
representational, authenticating, and legitimizing sociopolitical and cultural
devices, and their potency should not be underestimated. Never have these
texts shown more significance than in the present, as their intensified use,
and their qualities in Asian identities long contested, seek this Linguistic
Anthropological exploration.


2nd Call for Papers:

Following the close of the first Call for Abstracts/Papers, and due to a
barrage of requests, we announce the Second and Final Call for Papers for The
(SCOPUS Indexed) CALA (The International Conference on Asian Linguistic
Anthropology) 2020, February 5-8, 2020, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Bintulu
Campus, Sarawak, Malaysia. This second Call will close in three months, August
23. The Call is also at the link: http://cala2020.upm.edu.my, which contains
all information.

Purpose and Structure - Over 300 scholars globally will gather to present
papers and to engage in progressive discussion on the Linguistic Anthropology,
and Language and Society, and related fields, pertinent to Asia. The CALA is
fully Non-Profit, and all publishing with the JALA (its scholarly journal) is
free, refusing to implement a pay to publish system. The CALA sources
funding/grants to assist people who need funding to access the Conference.The
Conference proceedings will be indexed with SCOPUS and will hence contribute
to ranked and cited publications for all those accepted to present, as well as
directing papers to Top Tier Journal Publication Special Issues.

Location - University Putra Malaysia, Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia
