Six years after its inaugural meeting in 2020, the second conference
of the Indonesian Languages and Linguistics (InLaLi2) will take place
in Yogyakarta, under the theme linguistic diversity of Indonesia.
Background:
The Republic of Indonesia is home to hundreds of languages. While most
of them belong to the Austronesian family, a sizable number of
non-Austronesian (aka “Papuan”) languages are used in the eastern part
of the country, not to mention the coexistence of different sign
languages. Much of this linguistic landscape still await to be
investigated by both local and international linguists. As
linguistics, like any other field of science, is a collaborative
endeavour, it is therefore advantageous for Indonesianists to gather
in the country and share their ongoing projects throughout the
archipelago. In this spirit, we invite linguists all over the world to
visit Yogyakarta this summer to engage in fruitful academic
conversations on the linguistic diversity of Indonesia.
Information:
 - Date: 12-14 August 2026
 - Location: Universitas Sanata Dharma, Yogyakarta, Indonesia
 - Registration fee: 500,000 IDR (250,000 IDR for students), to be
paid on site during the opening session
 - Language: English and Indonesian
A presentation can also be given in the Indonesian Sign Language
(Bahasa Isyarat Indonesia, BISINDO), in which case an interpreter will
be hired for.
Venue:
Yogyakarta is a historic city in central Java, renowned for its deep
connections to traditional Javanese culture and its proximity to
numerous heritage sites. On the last day of the conference, we will
organize a group tour to Borobudur, a magnificent thousand-year-old
temple representing the nation’s rich Buddhist past.
Universitas Sanata Dharma is a leading private university in
Yogyakarta, known for its strong commitment to academic excellence and
its vibrant intellectual community. With modern facilities and a
welcoming campus environment, it provides an ideal setting for
scholarly exchange. Located in the heart of the city, the university
offers convenient access to Yogyakarta’s rich cultural heritage,
making it a fitting venue for discussions on the linguistic diversity
of Indonesia.
The conference will be held at the Faculty of Letters of Universitas
Sanata Dharma.
