[Sealang-l] SECOND CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

[Tom Conners]

We are happy to announce the second call for abstracts for:

*Indonesian languages and linguistics:  State of the field*

International Conference, February 16 – 18, 2020
                Atma Jaya Catholic University, Semanggi, Jakarta, Indonesia




*SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS*

The landscape of Indonesian languages and linguistics is rich and
dynamic. Indonesia is home to about 700 languages, roughly ten percent of
the languages of the world. Among these is Indonesian, an emergent major
world language spoken as a first or second language by some 260 million
people. The instantiation and development of Standard Indonesian as a
national language, the increasing number of Indonesians reporting use of
Indonesian as a primary language, the language contact scenarios between
Indonesian and hundreds of other languages of Indonesia (Austronesian,
non-Austronesian and colonial), and the implication of shift toward
Indonesian in the endangerment of hundreds of languages – these are all
part of the dynamic linguistic situation in Indonesia. Indonesia thus
serves as a profoundly important case study for multilingualism, language
endangerment, language documentation, and emerging new varieties.

The *Indonesian Languages and Linguistics: State of the Field conference*
(InLaLi) aims to bring together scholars and researchers to assess the
state of the field of study of Indonesian languages and linguistics.

The conference will be structured with thematically open parallel sessions
surrounding four plenary panels that address the following key issues:

*Language documentation and description *

·         What is the state of language documentation and description of
the languages of Indonesia, including new varieties?

·         How does documentation contribute to language description and
linguistic typology and vice versa?

·         What are the best practices for documenting and describing the
languages of Indonesia?

*Language use in multilingual contexts*

·         How can we characterize the shifting multilingual landscape of
Indonesia, both synchronically and diachronically?

   - What is the relationship between language and identity in different
   communities in Indonesia?

·         What are the language ideologies in Indonesia associated with
multilingualism and            multilingual language use?

*Language endangerment and vitality *

·         What are the factors that support the maintenance of local
languages and what factors   accelerate language shift?

·         How can we characterize language endangerment scenarios in
Indonesia?

·         What models of language maintenance or revitalization best apply
in Indonesia?

*Emerging varieties of spoken Indonesian*

·         How can we provide much needed documentation of emerging spoken
varieties? Are thereshared features of emerging varieties that are
unexpected cross-linguistically?

·         Are emerging varieties of spoken Indonesian stable?

·         What is the interaction between regional/emerging Indonesian
varieties and established Malay, Malayic, and Malay-based varieties?
