Submission Deadline: 15-Sep-2025

Papers are invited dealing with the "Papuan" (ie. non-Austronesian)
languages spoken in eastern Indonesia, the greater New Guinea region,
and the Solomon Islands. Equally welcome are papers concerned with the
Austronesian languages spoken in the same areas, including the contact
varieties of Malay, as well as Tok Pisin and Solomon Islands Pidgin.
Papers may be in any of the subfields of linguistics, and may
represent variegated approaches and diverse theoretical persuasions.
Papers are to be delivered in English.
Persons wishing to present a paper at the workshop are invited to
submit a one-page abstract in electronic form (preferably pdf, but
MsWord also acceptable) to David Gil at the following address:
dapiiiiit at gmail.com
Financial Assistance:
Limited funds will be available to help support those in financial
need. These funds can be used to help cover costs associated with
attending WLP7, including travel, accommodation, and registration
fees. We particularly encourage applications from scholars working in
Papuan-speaking areas. If you wish to be considered for this financial
support, please include a one-page document with your abstract
submission that (i) outlines your financial situation, (ii) explains
why you need funding to attend, and (iii) includes quotes for travel
to and from WLP7.
