Meeting Description:

The island of Java is home to several major world languages. Javanese—spoken
mainly in Central and East Java— is among the world’s most widely spoken
languages 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 its unique speech level system.
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 up to 13 million
speakers. 

Geography, history, and typology bind these languages with linguistically
related languages on the neighboring islands to the east, Bali, where Balinese
is spoken, and Lombok, where Sasak is spoken, each by about 3 million
speakers. 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,
Sasak, or any non-Malay language spoken on these islands, to come together and
share their findings. We aim to encourage and promote continued research on
these important and unique languages.

Keynote Speakers:
Maria Polinsky, University of Maryland
Dwi Novi Djenar, University of Sydney

A Special Joint ISLOJ/ISMIL Session will be held on m/Minimalism in
ISMIL/ISLOJ Languages. Please see the website for more information and keynote
speakers. Please indicate in your abstract if you would like to participate in
this special session.

ISLOJ 9 will be held jointly with ISMIL 26. ISMIL 26 runs May 18 – 19. The
symposia will be oriented to in person participants but will offer a hybrid
option for those who are unable to attend in person.

Final Call for Papers:

Abstracts are invited for papers to be presented on any linguistic topics
dealing with the languages of Java and its environs—Javanese, Sundanese,
Madurese, Balinese, and Sasak. Papers on other languages will be judged
according to their relevance to the symposium topic. Papers are welcome from
any subfield of linguistics and using any approach or theoretical background.
Studies of non-standard(ized) versions, dialects, and isolects, including
contact varieties, are particularly welcome. All papers are to be presented in
English.

The keynote speaker for the both the ISMIL and ISLOJ conferences will be Dwi
Noverini Djenar of the University of Sydney. There will also be a special
joint session on m/Minimalism in ISMIL/ISLOJ Languages featuring keynote
speakers Maria Polinsky (University of Maryland, College Park) and Eva
Wittenberg (Central European University).

Thanks to support from the National Science Foundation (BCS#1921334), we will
be able to offer some travel funding for students as well as scholars from
developing countries.
