Fifth International Conference on Austroasiatic Linguistics (ICAAL 5)
Bangkok, November 9 - 12, 2011
Painting the Austroasiatic Family Portrait
First Call for Abstracts
Following on the great success of meetings in Pune (India) in 2007 and Bangkok
(Thailand) in 2009, the International Conference on Austroasiatic Linguistics
returns to Bangkok in 2011. An important outcome of the 2009 ICAAL was the
certainty that the time had come to produce a comprehensive, canonical reference
to the Austroasiatic language family. We invite you to make your contribution
to the "table of contents" and coverage of this much-needed work.
For the 2011 ICAAL conference we encourage submissions that look at the family
from all theoretical and practical viewpoints, and contribute to painting a
complete picture of Austroasiatic as a complex language family with deep roots
across India, China, and the countries of Southeast Asia.
To ensure ample time for discussion, ICAAL 5 will have only two parallel
sessions.
Topics will include, but are not limited to:
* Language documentation and description
* Typological studies
* Genetic and areal classification
* Historical and comparative reconstruction
* Phonetic and phonological studies
* Language endangerment, maintenance and revival efforts
* Computational methods
* Epigraphy
* Language and Culture
* Discourse
* Semantics and Pragmatics
* Deadline for abstracts: August 1, 2011
* Notice of acceptance: September 1, 2011 (early notification on request)
Expressions of Interest: Don't wait until the abstract deadline to let us know
you are coming! Please email a brief expression of interest (name, affiliation,
proposed topic of presentation) at the earliest opportunity to:

You don't suppose "Dr. Jai" (or his puppetmaster who seems unable to
use a computer) knows what the Austroasiatic languages are, or what
relation they have to India, do you?

Of course not! Only the highly-learned "Peter T. Daniels" would know such things.

If you did, you, as the world's preeminent Sanskritolater, wouldn't
publicize this meeting.

Maybe the idea is sabotaging the conference, because of the heretical
suggestion that Austro-Asiatic languages haven't developed from that
ignominious language whose name I do not condescend to mention.
