Call for individual papers

Abstracts should be submitted as pdf on the 15-ICAL Easychair submission website: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=15ical.

Several travel grants will be made available to students whose abstracts have received the highest recommendation. Students who wish to be considered for such travel grants should indicate this in their submission. Travel grant recipients will be required to submit a full version of their paper before the conference.

In addition, there will also be a student poster session which will allow students of Austronesian linguistics to present the results of their research.

Call for panel proposals

Scholars are invited to propose thematic panels on any aspect of language or linguistics specifically related to Austronesian languages. Conveyors’ names should appear in the proposal and the expected panel size should be indicated. Panel proposals should be submitted as pdf on the 15-ICAL Easychair submission website: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=15ical.

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:

COVID contingency plan

15-ICAL will be organised in the chosen term in either hybrid or online mode, respecting the Center for Disease Prevention and Control regulations which will be in force at the moment. Regardless of the travel restrictions in force at the moment of the conference, all accepted papers, regardless of the mode of presentation, will be allotted a time slot. Papers presented in the online mode will be given the same level of technical support as paper presented in person.

Participants will be regularly informed about the situation via the conference website (https://indoling.com/ical/15/15-ical-covid-information/) and other usual channels.

Venue

The conference will be held at the Department of Asian Studies, Palacký University Olomouc, Czech Republic. Some details about the venue and the city can be found here: https://indoling.com/ical/15/venue/

We hope that despite the current challenges created by the coronavirus outbreak we will be able to organize the conference in the usual in-person format. However, the final decision about the format will be made closer to the conference date in the autumn of 2020 so as to accommodate potential travel restrictions and social-distancing rules, as well as the preferences of the conference participants.
