[Tibeto-burman-linguistics] ICSTLL52/HLS25 update

[Mark Post]

This is a reminder that the 52nd International Conference on Sino-Tibetan Languages and Linguistics (ICSTLL52) will be held in conjunction with the 25th Himalayan Languages Symposium (HLS25) under the common theme "Linguistic Diversity in the Asian Century" at the University of Sydney from 24 June to 29 June, 2019.

The abstract deadlines are rapidly approaching. Please note that due to our own fieldwork commitments and, therefore, travel schedules, we will *not* be able to guarantee that late abstracts will be considered!

There will be a 10% discount for early bird registrations (for those who register and pay before May 15, 2019)
There will be a 10% discount for two-conference registrations (for those who register and pay for both ICSTLL52 *and* HLS25)

Registration includes lunch and tea/coffee/snacks on each day of the corresponding conference.

The registration portal is expected to become available next week; please check the conference website<https://sites.google.com/view/icstll52hls25/home> (see also below). We will also be circulating a reminder.

Communication problems
It has come to our attention that the conference website <https://sites.google.com/view/icstll52hls25/home> may be inaccessible in some countries due to its being hosted on a Google-based server, access to which is apparently being blocked.

To circumvent this problem, most information on the conference website is now being mirrored on University of Sydney servers:

All those who happen to do their computing behind Great Firewalls should please attempt to access ICSTLL52-specific information here<https://slam-events.sydney.edu.au/calendar/52nd-international-conference-on-sino-tibetan-languages-and-linguistics-icstll52/>, and HLS25-specific information here<https://slam-events.sydney.edu.au/calendar/25th-himalayan-languages-symposium-hls25/>. Information regarding combined ICSTLL52/HLS25 Workshops will eventually become available here<https://slam-events.sydney.edu.au/calendar/icstll52-hls25-workshops/>. Similarly, prospective participants who are not able to send or receive emails to or from an @gmail.com address may send their ICSTLL/HLS-related queries to this address instead: linguistics.asia-langs at sydney.edu.au.
