Conference on Noun Incorporation in Austronesian Languages, Honolulu, Hawaii, March 1998

计划于1998年3月27日至29日举行一次南岛语正式语言学协会特别会议。AFLA V的主题将是“南岛语言中名词并入的观点”。“为了全面探讨名词合并的理论意涵，AFLA V将邀请以南岛语族为母语的语言学家参与。受邀者包括来自塔那那利佛大学（马达加斯加）的两名与会者、来自梅西大学（新西兰）的一名讲马拉加西语的语言学家和来自南太平洋大学（瓦努阿图）的一名语言学家。 NI被选为会议的主题，因为它是南岛语族中一个高生产力的策略，也因为NI的句法和形态理论的基本问题的重要性。主题演讲者将提出几个观点，在那里NI发生在语法（从转换方法定位NI在句法，通过词汇方法定位NI在构词过程中），因此需要考虑其语义和形态属性的语言学理论的性质。

A special meeting of the Austronesian Formal Linguistics Association (AFLA) is planned for 27-29 March 1998. The theme for AFLA V will be "Perspectives on Noun Incorporation in Austronesian Languages." In order to explore the theoretical implications of noun incorporation (NI) fully, AFLA V will invite linguists who are native speakers of Austronesian languages to participate. The invitees are two participants from University of Antananarivo (Madagascar), one Malagasy-speaking linguist from Massey University (New Zealand), and one linguist from the University of the South Pacific (Vanuatu). NI has been selected as the theme for the meeting because it is a highly productive strategy in the family of Austronesian languages, and also because of the significance of NI for fundamental issues of syntactic and morphological theory. Keynote speakers will present several perspectives on where NI takes place in the grammar (from transformational approaches locating NI in the syntax, through to lexicalist approaches locating NI in processes of word formation), and hence the nature of the linguistic theory required to account for its semantic and morphological properties.
