Meeting Description:

The 12th International Conference on Missionary Linguistics will take
place in Hsinchu (Taiwan) from March 28 to 30, 2025, organized by the
Research Center for Humanities and Social Sciences and the Center for
Sustainable Development of Linguistic Diversity in Taiwan (SDLD) of
National Tsinghua University. Situated at the intersections of
linguistic historiography, historical linguistics and historical
sociolinguistics, research in the field of Missionary Linguistics aims
at understanding how and for what purpose Western missionaries
documented and analyzed hitherto unknown languages of Asia, Africa and
the Americas. Covering the period from the fifteenth to the nineteenth
century, primary sources of interest are grammars, dictionaries, and
teaching manuals. The aim of the conference is to bring together
researchers who study historical language change, the historical
development of linguistic terms and concepts, early ideological
conceptualizations of language or other relevant topics through the
lens of missionary documents. As with the previous conferences in
Oslo, São Paulo, Macau/Hong Kong, Valladolid (Spain), Mérida (Mexico),
Tokyo, Bremen (Germany), Lima, Manila, Rome, and Santa Rosa
(Argentina), the conference aims to cover a broad spectrum of regions
and periods. The organizers especially welcome submissions on early
linguistic encounters between Europe and Asia before the twentieth
century.

Call for Papers:

Abstracts of 200–300 words accompanied by a brief bio note can be
submitted to editor at monsoonasianstudies.com before August 31, 2024.
Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by September 30, 2024.
Since the conference language will be English, abstracts should also
be submitted in English.
