The Workshop on the Languages of Papua will consist primarily of papers concerned with languages, either non-Austronesian or Austronesian, spoken in the western half of the island of New Guinea. However, we also encourage contributions dealing with non-Austronesian languages spoken in other parts of eastern Indonesia and in Papua New Guinea. Papers may be in any of the subfields of linguistics, and may represent variegated approaches and diverse theoretical persuasions. Presentations at the Workshop on the Languages of Papua are to be delivered in English.

Persons wishing to present a paper at the workshop are invited to submit a one-page abstract in electronic form (preferably pdf, but MsWord also acceptable) to David Gil at the following address:

Deadline for submission of abstracts: 1 March 2007
