Meeting Description:

Formal Approaches to South Asian Languages 15 (FASAL 15) will be
hosted by the Linguistics Department at the University of Texas,
Austin from April 11 to April 13 2025. In keeping with its tradition,
FASAL reaches out to all researchers that do high-quality linguistic
study of any South Asian language adopting a wide range of
methodologies. We welcome submissions on under-researched and/or
endangered South Asian languages in areas including, but not limited
to phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics,
computational linguistics, psycholinguistics, and historical
linguistics. We particularly encourage submissions from researchers
located in South Asia.

FASAL 15 will feature a special mini-workshop on discourse dynamics .
For this event, we welcome submissions on clause-type signals, their
modifiers, intonation, and discourse particles in South Asian
languages that explore the role of such strategies in constraining and
updating contexts.

Invited Talks
Aditi Lahiri (Oxford)
Shakuntala Mahanta (IIT Guwahati)
Sadhwi Srinivas (College of William and Mary)

Call for Papers:

Formal Approaches to South Asian Languages (FASAL) is the main North
American venue dedicated to the presentation and discussion of
linguistic research on South Asian languages. We welcome submissions
that draw on data from South Asian languages (including
Austro-Asiatic, Dravidian, Indo-Aryan, and Tibeto-Burman languages)
using a wide range of methodologies.
Submissions on under-researched and endangered South Asian languages,
submissions from minority groups, and submissions from researchers
based in South Asia are encouraged.

Mini workshop
FASAL 15 will include a mini workshop on Discourse Dynamics in South
Asian Languages. Over the past decade and a half, there has been
increasing interest in investigating discourse phenomena in South
Asian languages -- ranging from studies of question particles,
intonational strategies, evidentiality, and discourse particles. We
welcome work that contribute to this growing area of research
including but not limited to work on clause-type signals, their
modifiers, intonation, and discourse particles in South Asian
languages that explore the role of such strategies in constraining and
updating contexts.
