Languages in Borneo
As part of the fourth biennial meeting of the Borneo Research Council, scheduled to take
place in Brunei darussalam in 1996, it is proposed to hold a session on Languages
in Borneo: diachronic and synchronic perspectives. This session will be broad-based and should provide a forum for topics and issues of concern to descriptivists,
sociolinguists, language planners, historical linguists, dialectologists, creole and pidgin
theorists, and scholars of the languages and societies of Borneo. The session will provide
the opportunity to survey diverse international perspectives on language contact, language
change and maintenance, as well as descriptions of languages in Borneo.
The papers from this session will be published as part of the Borneo Research Council
Proceedings Series.
If you wish to participate in the session on Languages in Borneo and would
like to be on the mailing list, please contact one of the addresses below.
