South Asia has an abundance of languages; each one a linguistic marvel in its own with the one-of-a-kind culture of its people reflecting in it. The Himalayan region is no exception. With languages that developed uniquely due to difficult terrains, equally difficult weather conditions or maybe contact with tourists through the ages, the Himalayan languages have their own beautiful stories to tell. The Himalayan Languages Symposium is the platform to share these stories because HLS is a multidisciplinary conference that covers a broad range of topics of the Himalayan languages.
This year, the platform is at Lucknow. The 24th Himalayan Languages Symposium (HLS24) will be held at University of Lucknow, hosted by the Department of Linguistics. In accordance with what is mentioned in the official website of Himalayan Languages Symposium (http://www.himalayansymposium.org/), we are now accepting abstracts of research work conducted in any language of the greater Himalayan region, e.g. Burushaski, Kusunda, Tibeto-Burman, Indo-Iranian, Austroasiatic, Kradai, Andamanese, Nihali, Dravidian etc. Contributions are also invited from related disciplines such as history, anthropology, archaeology and prehistory focusing on the greater Himalayan region.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Abstracts of full papers in the topics mentioned in this Call for Papers and related to the Himalayan linguistic area are invited. HLS24 will have one session on general linguistics every day, so abstracts on topics not strictly related to Himalayan languages will also be considered. However, kindly note that competition for selection in this session will be stricter as presentation slots will be very limited.
Word limit of abstracts: 500 (excluding references)
Acceptance notification: 15.04.2018
