First Call for Abstracts

The Twentieth INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON MALAY/INDONESIAN LINGUISTICS
(ISMIL20)

14-16 July 2016
Melbourne, Australia

***

Papers presented at ISMIL are concerned with the Malay/Indonesian language in
any of its varieties.  In addition to the standardized versions of Bahasa
Melayu and Bahasa Indonesia, papers are particularly welcome dealing with
non-canonical isolects such as regional dialects of Malay and Indonesian,
contact varieties, and other closely related Malayic languages.  Papers may
be in any of the subfields of linguistics, and may represent variegated
approaches and diverse theoretical persuasions. Presentations at ISMIL are
delivered in English.

***

Persons wishing to present a paper at the symposium are invited to submit a
one-page abstract in electronic form (preferably pdf, but MsWord also
acceptable) to David Gil at the following address:

gil AT shh.mpg.de

Final deadline for submission of abstracts: 15 March 2016

Early Submission Procedure:

In recognition of the logistic challenges some potential participants may be
facing in traveling to Melbourne, we have introduced an Early Submission
Procedure:

Abstracts may be submitted at any time prior to the deadline, beginning
now. Abstracts will be reviewed by the programme committee in two
intermediate rounds, each with its own deadline:

Intermediate Deadline 1: December 15 2015

Intermediate Deadline 2: January 30 2016

Applicants will be informed of the programme committee's decision within two
weeks of each deadline.(Thus, applicants submitting before December 15 will
be informed by December 30, while applicants submitting before January 30
will be informed by February 15.)We hope that this procedure will make it
possible for participants to see to their travel arrangements, and if
necessary procure funding, well in advance
