The 24th Meeting of the Austronesian Formal Linguistics Association will be hosted by the Linguistics departments of the University of Washington and Reed College on April 7-9 on the University of Washington campus. AFLA is an organization which promotes the study of Austronesian languages from a formal perspective. Since the initial meeting in 1994, AFLA has served as an annual forum for the presentation of new research in all of the core areas of formal linguistics, including (but not limited to) phonetics, phonology, morphology, semantics, syntax, typology, and psycholinguistics. AFLA 24 will feature a Workshop on Comparative Formosan Linguistics in addition to the main meeting. Details can be found on the conference website at the following link: https://lingconf.com/afla24/
