Meeting Description:

The 54th International Conference on Sino-Tibetan Languages and Linguistics
will be hosted by the School of Humanities at the Southwest Jiaotong
University, Chengdu, China, October 29-31, 2021. The school will host a
multi-platform conference this year. Participants able travel to Chengdu,
China at the time are welcome to attend in person. Proceedings will also occur
online via Voov (Tencent Meeting).

The International Conference on Sino-Tibetan Languages and Linguistics
(ICSTLL) is the premier meeting for linguistic researchers working within the
Sino-Tibetan language family, a family with over 400 languages. To date,
ICSTLL has been held in about 13 different countries and eight times in China.

The general orientation of this year’s conference will be “New directions for
Sino-Tibetan Linguistics in the mid-21st century”.


Call for Papers: 

We are now calling for abstracts for presentations covering all aspects of
linguistic research on Sino-Tibetan languages. Papers may treat issues in any
subfield of linguistics; they may present field reports, or they may involve
research in allied fields, such as linguistic anthropology, or prehistory.
Papers will be allotted fifteen minutes for presentation followed by ten
minutes for questions and discussion. Papers can be presented in either
English or Chinese. Interested applicants are invited to submit up to one
single-authored and one co-authored abstract. 

Papers on the following topics within the Sino-Tibetan family are especially
encouraged:
 - Issues in subgrouping 
 - Typology of tonal systems
 - Calibrating degrees of intensity of language contact
 - Standardization of language names
 - Theorization on wider relationships between ST and other language families
 - Areal features vs. language-family specific traits
 - Theory and practice of historical reconstruction in mono- and
sesqui-syllabic languages
 - Areal semantics
 - ST narrative structure
 - Salvage linguistics for endangered languages

Abstracts should be submitted via
