Papers presented at ISMIL are concerned with the Malay/Indonesian language in any of its varieties. In addition to the standardized versions of Bahasa Melayu and Bahasa Indonesia, papers are particularly welcome dealing with non-canonical isolects such as regional dialects of Malay and Indonesian, contact varieties, and other closely related Malayic languages. Of special interest are papers dealing with language contact. Papers may be in any of the subfields of linguistics, and may represent variegated approaches and diverse theoretical persuasions. Presentations at ISMIL are delivered in English, as is befitting an international symposium.

Presentations are 20 minutes long, plus 10 minutes for questions.

For those participants not presenting a paper there is a fee of 50 Euro which covers registration, two lunches, one dinner, a book of papers, and use of the conference facilities. All are welcome to attend. Please register with Marloes Rozing.

For those participants whose papers are selected for presentation there is no fee for the above and accommodation at the conference venue will be provided free of charge.

Here is the symposium's poster (698 KB, pdf document).
