The conference dates are March 4-6, 2011. AFLA is an organization which promotes the study of Austronesian languages from a formal perspective. We will elicit talks on all aspects of formal linguistics (e.g. language acquisition, morphology, phonology, phonetics, semantics, syntax) of Austronesian languages. Also, this year we will incorporate a historical linguistics component. In addition to promoting the formal study of Austronesian languages, we especially encourage work by speaker-linguists and junior scholars. Invited Speakers: Prof. Robert A.

Submission limitations are one singly-authored abstract and one jointly-authored abstract, or two jointly-authored abstracts per applicant.
