Formal Approaches to South Asian Languages 16 (FASAL 16) will be
hosted by the Linguistics Program at the University of South Carolina.
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.
In the interest of including as many colleagues from around the world
as possible, this year FASAL will have both an in-person component on
April 10-11, 2026 at the USC campus in Columbia, SC and a fully online
component on April 18, 2026. Researchers submitting abstracts should
indicate for which component(s) they are would like to be considered.
Mini-workshop:
This year FASAL will feature a special mini-workshop focused on the
prosody-syntax interface. Recent work both within and outside South
Asian languages has productively addressed interface phenomena such as
focus and phrasal prominence, question intonation, ellipsis, and word
order. We welcome research advancing these or any other topics of
relevance to prosody-syntax connections in any South Asian language.
