Conference on Asia-Mainland Austronesian Connections; Honolulu, Hawaii; May 1993

亚洲-大陆/南岛联系会议计划利用历史/比较语言学家，考古学家，以及将于1992年至1993年在夏威夷大学居住的体质人类学家，以及近年来对南岛语族祖先起源问题的日益关注。这次会议将增加已经在夏威夷的小组的成员，他们的工作与亚洲-大陆起源的可能性有关，并且已经确立了自己是关于这些起源的一个或另一个主要现存假说的主要支持者或主要批评者。在为期四天的会议期间，各种假设的证据将被展示和辩论。会议记录将在《海洋语言学：特别出版物》上单独发表。

ABSTRACT A conference on Asia-Mainland/Austronesian Connections is planned to capitalize on the aggregation of historical/comparative linguists, archaeologists, and physical anthropologists who will be in residence at the University of Hawaii during 1992-93, and the increasing attention of recent years to the question of the origins of the ancestors of the Austronesian speaking people. The conference will augment the group already in Hawaii with others whose work relates to the possibility of an Asia-Mainland origin and who have established themselves as among the chief proponents, or the chief critics, of one or another of the major extant hypotheses as to those origins. Evidence for the various hypotheses will be presented and debated during the four-day conference. The proceedings will be published in a single issue of Oceanic Linguistics: Special Publications.
