Formal Approaches to South Asian Languages 15 (FASAL 15) will be hosted by the Linguistics Department at the University of Texas, Austin from April 11 to April 13 2025. In keeping with its tradition, FASAL reaches out to all researchers that do high-quality linguistic study of any South Asian language adopting a wide range of methodologies. We welcome submissions on under-researched and/or endangered South Asian languages in areas including, but not limited to phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, computational linguistics, psycholinguistics, and historical linguistics. We particularly encourage submissions from researchers located in South Asia.

FASAL 15 will feature a special mini-workshop on discourse dynamics. For this event, we welcome submissions on clause-type signals, their modifiers, intonation, and discourse particles in South Asian languages that explore the role of such strategies in constraining and updating contexts.
