Meeting Description:

Southeast Asia is an area with great linguistic diversity, with
speakers of five language families having been living together in this
geographical area for several thousands of years. The five language
families are Austroasiatic, Austronesian, Kra-Dai (or Tai-Kadai),
Hmong-Mien (or Miao-Yao), and Sino-Tibetan. Although conferences
devoted to research on each specific language family (e.g.
International Conference on Austroasiatic Linguistics (ICAAL);
International Conference on Austronesian Linguistics (ICAL);
International Conference on Sino-Tibetan Languages and Linguistics
(ICSTLL)) exist, scholars working on different language families in
this area rarely have formal opportunities to interact with each
other. In 1990, the Southeast Asian Linguistics Society (SEALS, or the
Society) was founded by Martha Ratliff and Eric Schiller. SEALS is
formed for the purpose of facilitating and promoting contact and
communication among scholars and students of Southeast Asian
Linguistics, and for the dissemination of their scholarly works. SEALS
welcomes contributions that deal with general and applied linguistic
issues (as opposed to cultural or anthropological topics, or
acquisition or teaching methodology). Presentations must relate
directly to languages spoken in the region of Southeast Asia. The
annual meeting of the Southeast Asian Linguistics Society, normally
held annually, provides an excellent platform for scholars and
students working on languages from different Southeast Asian language
families to share their research methods and results.

The Institute of Linguistics at National Tsing Hua University (NTHU)
(Hsinchu, Taiwan) invites scholars to participate in the 33rd Annual
Meeting of the Southeast Asian Linguistics Society (SEALS 33), June
15-17, 2024. SEALS 33 will be a hybrid conference, held concurrently
in-person (GIS NTU Convention Center, Taipei, Taiwan) and online (via
Google Meet). A post-conference workshop on Southeast Asian
Linguistics will be held (in-person) at the Institute of Linguistics,
National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan on June 18, 2024. The
theme of the workshop will be on “Language Contact and Historical
Relationships of Languages in Southeast Asia”. More information about
the workshop will be posted on the SEALS 33 website in late April.
A draft program of SEALS 33 is now available. Please visit the
following page for the current version of the program:
