1994年,一群南島語言學家聚在多倫多大學,目的是要建立一個具有正式觀點的南島語言學習的組織。從1994年的第一次會議開始,任務就是鼓勵語言學家或年輕學者研究南島語言。網站中提供每年會議的議程,其中部分附有會議論文。
In 1994, a small group of Austronesianists met at the University of Toronto. Their purpose was to create an organisation that promotes the study of Austronesian languages from a formal perspective.
From that initial meeting in 1994 onwards, each meeting has furthered the unwritten mandate of AFLA to encourage the formal study of Austronesian languages, especially work by speaker-linguists and by junior scholars. |
