Meeting Description:
The Fifth ISLOJ
International Symposium on the Languages of
Java
6-7 June 2015
Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia
Bandung, West Java, Indonesia
The island of Java is home to several major
languages. Javanese—spoken mainly in Central
and East Java— is the world’s 10th or 11th
largest language in number of native speakers.
It has one of the oldest and fullest recorded
histories of any Austronesian language. It also
has been of considerable interest to scholars
because of the system of speech levels or
speech styles found in a number of varieties of
Javanese. Sundanese—spoken in West Java— has
over 27 million speakers, and Madurese—spoken
on the neighboring island of Madura and
throughout parts of East Java—is the third
largest local language, with counts ranging
from 7 to 13 million speakers. Varieties of
both of these languages have speech level
systems and such systems can also be found in
the geographically, historically, and
linguistically related languages on the
neighboring islands of Bali and Lombok. Each of
these languages displays a range of dialects,
isolects, continua, and contact varieties and
yet they have received relatively little
attention from linguists. With this symposium,
we offer an opportunity for scholars working on
any aspect of Javanese, Sundanese, Madurese,
Balinese and Sasak to come together and share
their findings. We aim to encourage and promote
continued research on these important and
unique languages.
The Keynote Address will be delivered by
Professor Dr. Bernd Nothofer,
Goethe-Universität Frankfurt.
Please note that the 19th International
Symposium on Malay-Indonesian Linguistics
(ISMIL 19) will be held following ISLOJ, at
Jambi University, Jambi City, on 12-14 June,
2013. For more information see:
