Southeast Asian Linguistics Society Conference Proceedings, 1998, 2002-2006.

Abstract

The Southeast Asian Linguistics Society - SEALS - was founded at Arizona State University in 1990. SEALS holds an annual conference in diverse locations in Southeast Asia, the United States, and Australia.

SEALS features papers on the languages of Southeast Asia, including Austroasiatic, Austronesian, Hmong-Mien, Tibeto-Burman and Thai-Kadai. Topics have included descriptive, theoretical, or historical linguistics, linguistic anthropology (ethnolinguistics, language attitudes and ideology, discourse and conversational analysis, language and gender, language and politics), language planning, literacy and bilingual education.

Before the foundation of the Journal of the South East Asian Linguistics Society (JSEALS) in 2009, annual proceedings of SEALS conferences were produced. In 1998 and between 2002 and 2006 this was undertaken by the Department of Linguistics School of Culture, History and Language, College of Asia and the Pacific at The Australian National University in Canberra, ACT, Australia.
