The languages of Southeast Asia, including Malaysia and Indonesia, have provided the field of linguistics with numerous important scientific discoveries regarding the nature of human language. However, in recent years, venues for learning about and sharing current research on Southeast Asia languages have been vanishingly rare within the United States. Thus, this project aims to bring together scholars to present current research focused on Southeast Asian languages for an unprecedented week-long event in May 2020 at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. This week-long event comprises three professional meetings on the languages of Southeast Asia that have not traditionally been held together---the Southeast Asian Linguistics Society (SEALS), the International Symposium on Malay-Indonesian Linguistics (ISMIL), and the International Symposium on the Language of Java (ISLOJ)---alongside a special series of master classes on cutting-edge topics in several sub-disciplines in linguistics. SEALS, the largest of the three meetings, is internationally-recognized as the foremost conference for disseminating research on Southeast Asian linguistics. ISMIL and ISLOJ are important venues for two linguistically important yet sorely under-researched areas of western Indonesia. Thus, by bringing together these previously disparate meetings, this project promises to foster communication and collaboration between like-minded scholars who may not otherwise interact. The special series of master classes leverages specializations of faculty at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in experimental, theoretical and documentary linguistics, offering students and scholars from the US and various Southeast Asian countries important educational opportunities that promise to promote the progress of the scientific study of human language.The funding from the National Science Foundation will be used to increase the diversity of participants at this week-long event on Southeast Asian languages by offering funding to US students as well as students and scholars from Southeast Asia who would not otherwise be able to travel to the United States. Broadening participation in this week-long event has the potential to be transformative in forging new collaborations and creating new threads of linguistics research. The master classes will provide important training at basic and advanced levels on cutting-edge research methodologies and current topics in several sub-disciplines of linguistics. These workshops will be targeted at students and scholars from Southeast Asia because of their potential to make a significant impact on the future of linguistic research on the languages of Southeast Asia.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

东南亚的语言，包括马来西亚和印度尼西亚，为语言学领域提供了许多关于人类语言本质的重要科学发现。然而，近年来，在美国，学习和分享当前东南亚语言研究的场所已经非常罕见。因此，该项目旨在汇集学者，于2020年5月在马诺阿的夏威夷大学举办为期一周的前所未有的活动，介绍目前专注于东南亚语言的研究。这个为期一周的活动包括三个关于东南亚语言的专业会议，这些会议传统上并没有一起举行-东南亚语言学学会（SEALS），马来西亚-印度尼西亚语言学国际研讨会（ISMIL）和爪哇语言国际研讨会（ISLOJ）--以及一系列关于语言学几个子学科前沿主题的特别大师班。SEALS是三个会议中规模最大的一个，是国际公认的传播东南亚语言学研究的最重要会议。ISMIL和ISLOJ是印度尼西亚西部两个语言重要但研究严重不足的地区的重要场所。因此，通过将这些以前不同的会议聚集在一起，这个项目有望促进志同道合的学者之间的沟通和合作，否则他们可能不会互动。特别系列的大师班利用了夏威夷大学马诺阿分校在实验、理论和文献语言学方面的专业知识，为来自美国和东南亚各国的学生和学者提供重要的教育机会，有望促进人类语言科学研究的进展。美国国家科学基金会的资助将用于增加参与者的多样性，这个为期一周的东南亚语言活动，为美国学生以及来自东南亚的学生和学者提供资金，否则他们将无法前往美国。扩大参与这个为期一周的活动有可能在建立新的合作和创造语言学研究的新线索方面产生变革性的影响。大师班将提供关于前沿研究方法和语言学几个分支学科当前主题的基础和高级重要培训。这些研讨会将针对东南亚的学生和学者，因为他们有可能对东南亚语言的语言学研究的未来产生重大影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
