1. Malcolm Ross, Austronesian Linguistics (9ICAL)/Oceanic Languages (COOL5)

The 9th International Conference on Austronesian Linguistics (9ICAL) 
will be held in Canberra, at Burgmann College, The Australian 
National University, from January 8-11, 2002.

The 5th International Conference of Oceanic Languages (COOL5) will be 
held at the same venue from 14-16 January.

Both conferences are hosted by the Linguistics Department, Research 
School of Pacific and Asian Studies at the ANU.

EXTENSION OF DEADLINE

The original deadline for the submission of abstracts has now passed. 
However, the organising committee has received a number of enquiries 
from linguists who would still like to participate, and so we have 
decided to extend the deadline for abstracts until

 31st JULY 2001.

Despite this extension, we would be grateful if would-be participants 
would contact us by e-mail (mailto://Anconfanu.edu.au) as soon as 
possible and inform us of their intentions so that we can plan 
appropriately.

CONFERENCE INFORMATION

Interested scholars are invited to offer papers relating to the study 
of Austronesian languages for 9ICAL, and specifically to the Oceanic 
branch of Austronesian for COOL5. All presenters will be allocated a 
total of 30 minutes for their papers: 20 minutes for talking and 10 
minutes for questions. Abstracts (maximum of one page) should be 
submitted by 1 May 2001.

Anyone who is interested in organising a workshop as part of either 
conference should get in touch with the conference organisers as soon 
as possible.

Proposals for papers or workshops should be made by filling in the 
registration form (accessible via the web address below) which you 
can also use to let us know if you are planning to attend either of 
the conferences without presenting a paper or organising a workshop. 
The form is a rich text format (rtf) file that can be sent to the 
mailing address below or emailed as an attachment to 
mailto://Anconfanu.edu.au

Correspondence regarding the conference should be addressed to the 
Organising Committee for 9ICAL/COOL5 preferably via email at
