Eighth International Conference on Austronesian Linguistics (8-ICAL)

Contributions in the form of papers are solicited in all areas pertaining to the phonology, morphology, syntax, pragmatics, and socio-linguistics of Austronesian languages, especially when these are based on primary language data. The list of areas indicated is suggestive rather than restrictive. Interested Austronesian scholars and researchers are also encouraged to organize their own panels. Suggested topics for panels are area studies (e.g. Formosan, Philippine, Indonesian, Malay, Micronesian, Polynesian, Melanesian), special topics (e.g. case, focus, tense/aspect, complementation), etc.
Those who are interested in attending this conference are requested to fill out the registration form which can be obtained from the address below, and mail it to the Organizing Committee by 1 November 1995. Panel organizers should also notify the Organizing Committee of all the panellists' names and the intended topic to avoid unnecessary overlap. Papers should be written and presented in English.
One-page copy-ready abstracts of papers and a registration fee of NT$ 1,900 or US$ 75 should be received before 1 May 1996.
