Austronesian
After Dark

This web meeting series is open to anyone with a serious interest in Austronesian linguistics, regardless of career stage — from early-career researchers to mid-career scholars (roughly 35–50 years old), independent researchers, and those who have retired but still want to keep learning, discussing, and connecting with others in the field. 

Our main goal is to build a supportive and collegial community where people can share ideas, talk about specific problems, and simply enjoy exchanging thoughts with like-minded colleagues — something that can become surprisingly difficult after leaving formal academic positions. Whether you are still teaching, working independently, or enjoying retirement with plenty of energy left, you are warmly welcome here.

This series focuses on historical and comparative grammatical studies in Austronesian linguistics, as well as theory-free language description.

Discussions on formal theoretical approaches (e.g., generative syntax) are not the main emphasis.
