The National University of Singapore will hold a joint meeting of the inaugural International Symposium of Bornean Linguistics (ISBL) and the 27th International Symposium on Malay/Indonesian Linguistics (ISMIL27), on June 5–7, 2024. The meeting will include a joint session on Malayic languages of Borneo.

We invite abstracts for 20 minute talks at ISBL or ISMIL.

Presentations may be on any linguistic subfield, and we encourage a diverse range of theoretical and practical approaches to issues in linguistics. We particularly encourage presentations from junior scholars and those from or in partnership with local scholars and speakers, as well as work on lesser studied language varieties. The language of presentation is English.

The program features the following plenary speakers: for ISBL, Charlotte Hemmings (University of Oxford) and Roselind Wan (Curtin University Malaysia) and for ISMIL, Nala Lee (National University of Singapore), Bradley McDonnell (University of Hawai’i), and Hiroki Nomoto (Tokyo University of Foreign Studies).
