The Journal of the Southeast Asian Linguistics Society is the society's peer-reviewed open-access academic journal covering research on the languages of mainland and insular Southeast Asia, including Sino-Tibetan, Austroasiatic, Kra-Dai, Hmong-Mien, and Austronesian languages. It was established in 2009 and is published by the University of Hawaii Press. The editor-in-chief is Mark Alves (Montgomery College).[2]

The journal was formally established at the SEALS 17 meeting in September 2007 at the University of Maryland. It supersedes the SEALS Conference Proceedings,[3] which were published by Arizona State University.[4] The first volume was published in 2009.[5] The journal uses a Creative Commons License.[6]

Conferences

The society holds annual conferences generally in late May. Usually, 50–100 papers are presented in 2–3 days. Papers and presentations are archived online, with the exception of some earlier conferences. SEALS conferences have been held since 1991. The first meeting, held in 1991 at Wayne State University in Michigan, was attended by Paul K. Benedict, William J. Gedney, Gérard Diffloth, James A. Matisoff, Laurent Sagart, Jerry Edmondson, Graham Thurgood, among others.[7]
