The Austronesian and Papuan Languages and Linguistics Research Group is pleased to announce that its twelfth international conference – APLL12 – will be held at the University of Oslo on 18-20 June, 2020.

The purpose of the APLL conferences is to provide a venue for presentation of the best current research on Austronesian and Papuan languages and linguistics and to promote collaboration and research in this area.

APLL12 follows previous APLL conferences held in Leiden, Surrey, Paris and London, and the Austronesian Languages and Linguistics (ALL) conferences held at SOAS and St Catherine's College, Oxford. More information is available at https://universitywebsite/conference.

Submission Guidelines

Abstracts should be no more than one A4 page in length including references and examples. They should be anonymous, and set in a minimum of 12pt font. They should be in .docx or .pdf format and the filename should start with APLL12, followed by an underscore and then first authors' surname, e.g. APLL11_bloggs.pdf. If you have a common surname, please also include initials, e.g. APLL12_jjones.pdf. 

The conference will contain two thematic sessions on:

1)         Information structure and the role of prominence in grammar
2)         The interface between language documentation and experimental methodologies

Authors who want to present in one of these thematic sessions should indicate so in their abstracts.

A selected early career researcher will be invited to present a plenary talk of 45 minutes. BA, MA or PhD students, as well as researchers who have received their PhD after January 2018, are invited to submit an abstract and to indicate that they wish to be considered for the early career researcher plenary session.
