Call for papers: AFLA in May

The Department of Linguistics at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
will host the 21th annual meeting of the Austronesian Formal
Linguistics Association (AFLA) on 23-25 May, 2014.  AFLA is an
organization which promotes the study of Austronesian languages from a
formal perspective. More information about the conference can be found
at the conference website (http://www2.hawaii.edu/~afla21/).

We will elicit talks on all aspects of formal linguistics (e.g.
language acquisition, morphology, phonology, phonetics, semantics,
syntax) of Austronesian languages. In addition to promoting the formal
study of Austronesian languages, we especially encourage work by
speaker-linguists and junior scholars.

Abstracts are invited for 20-minute talks (plus 10 minutes for
discussion) on any aspect of formal linguistics (morphology,
phonetics, phonology, syntax, semantics) of any Austronesian
language(s). Abstracts on experimental or psycholinguistic research of
any Austronesian language(s) are also invited. Submission limitations
are one singly-authored abstract and one jointly-authored abstract, or
two jointly-authored abstracts per applicant. Abstracts should be
limited to a maximum of two Letter-sized (or A4) pages (for text,
examples, trees, tableaux, and references), with margins of one inch
and in 12 pt font.

Abstracts should be submitted online by January 13, 2014 at the
following URL: http://linguistlist.org/confservices/afla21
