24th International Conference on Historical Linguistics (ICHL24)

We are pleased to invite you to the 24th biennial conference of the
International Society for Historical Linguistics. Continuing and expanding
a proud tradition, the upcoming ICHL24 will present both renowned and
exciting new voices in the many domains of the field, including methods and
practices of reconstruction, formal approaches to change, historical
sociolinguistics and contact linguistics.





*REGISTER HERE <http://www.dynamicsoflanguage.edu.au/ichl24/registration/>*





*WHEN:* 1–5 July 2019

*WHERE:* University House, The Australian National University, Canberra,
Australia



While featuring languages from across the world, in the International Year
of Indigenous Languages, ICHL24 will highlight the very diverse languages
and language families of our region, especially those of Australia,
mainland Southeast Asia and New Guinea. With a truly multi-disciplinary
focus, the conference will also showcase new advances in computational and
phylogenetic approaches to historical linguistics, and new ways of placing
the field within trans-disciplinary understandings of the human past.

*The program*

Over five days, the packed program will include seven concurrent sessions
daily, ten intensive workshops, seven plenary presentations, and social
activities with a distinctive local flavour.

The keynote addresses
<http://www.dynamicsoflanguage.edu.au/ichl24/speakers/> underline the
trans-disciplinary nature of the gathering. Prominent language variation
expert Anita Auer will speak
<https://cloudstor.aarnet.edu.au/plus/s/NtbKKc57Vc5vO1U#pdfviewer> on the
emergence of Standard English; Johann-Mattis List from the Max Planck
Institute for the Science of Human History will take
<https://cloudstor.aarnet.edu.au/plus/s/zCPtVVeNLhDWSBh#pdfviewer> participants
through problem-solving strategies in computational historical linguistics;
while Chris Ballard, an ANU Pacific historian, will present a series of
Melanesian case studies to ask
<https://cloudstor.aarnet.edu.au/plus/s/JjOLfSeRlwbXD74#pdfviewer> what
history can say about the evolution of contemporary language diversity.


*Workshops*

The breadth of workshops during ICHL24 will showcase presenters and
facilitators driving forward contemporary historical linguistics,
representing a great variety of fields, experiences and career paths. Over
three days, Max Planck Institute scientists Simon Greenhill, Russell Gray,
Johann-Mattis List, Robert Forkel and others will explicate
<https://cloudstor.aarnet.edu.au/plus/s/VgKeJrbXQwvBsGx#pdfviewer> the
latest in computational and phylogenetic methods. Luisa Miceli, Mark
Ellison and colleagues will compare
<https://cloudstor.aarnet.edu.au/plus/s/wu2axpv4j8XWOCW#pdfviewer> linguistic
and biological phylogenies in the context of Oceania – can they be
reconciled? A new generation of younger researchers will take
<https://cloudstor.aarnet.edu.au/plus/s/O8KdwSqMwlvnnXZ#pdfviewer>
participants on a two-day tour of the history of Papuan languages and their
speakers.


*Registration*

The conference website contains essential (and quite a bit of extra)
information about travelling to Australia, accommodation options in its
picturesque capital city, and of course – the social calendar. This
includes three optional cultural excursions on the afternoon of third day,
led by expert local guides.
