Austronesian Formal Linguistics Association
The Austronesian Formal Linguistics Association is a learned society that hosts forums for collaborative research on Austronesian languages. Founded in 1994 at the University of Toronto, AFLA is now administered from the University of Western Ontario. Conferences are held annually at a multitude of institutes across the globe, including Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and Academia Sinica located in Taipei, Taiwan. The most recent 2019 conference was held in its home administration at the University of Western Ontario. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the AFLA 2020 conference was postponed and tentatively rescheduled for August 20 at the National University of Singapore.
