As in the past, this conference will focus on all linguistic aspects of the languages of Java, broadly understood: Javanese, Sundanese, Madurese, Balinese, and Sasak; and also, possibly, varieties of Malay spoken in those language areas. Please address all questions to Thomas Conners at tconners AT umd.edu. The island of Java is home to several major languages. Javanese-- spoken mainly in Central and East Java-- is the world's 11th largest language in number of native speakers; has one of the oldest and fullest recorded histories of any Austronesian language; and has the most fully articulated phenomenon of speech levels of any language. Sundanese --spoken in West Java-- has over 30 million speakers, and Madurese-- spoken on the neighboring island of Madura and throughout parts of East Java -- has over 13 million speakers. The speech level system is shared by the geographically, historically, and linguistically related languages on the neighboring islands of Bali and Lombok. Each of these languages displays a range of dialects, isolects, continua, and contact varieties and yet they have received relatively little attention from linguists. With this symposium, we offer an opportunity for scholars working on any aspect of Javanese, Sundanese, and Madurese, Balinese and Sasak to come together and share their findings. We aim to encourage and promote continued research on these important and unique languages. 23-24 June 2011 State Islamic University of Malang Malang, East Java, Indonesia Keynote Speaker: Professor Dr. Aminudin Aziz Final Call for Papers: *Note New Deadline for Abstract Submission: March 15, 2011 Abstracts are invited for papers to be presented on any linguistic topics dealing with the languages of Java and its environs--Javanese, Sundanese, Madurese, Balinese, and Sasak.
