| Summary: | In the final days of July 2009, scholars from around the world convened in
Eugene, Oregon for HLS 15. Participants at the conference presented papers on
Himalayan languages spanning great geographic, temporal, and genetic distances:
from Sichuan in the east to Pakistan in the west; from pre-Tibetan and Tangut to
the many modern-day languages spoken in the region; and across many subgroups
in Tibeto-Burman and Indo-European. The conference was seamlessly organized
by Scott DeLancey, Gwendolyn Hyslop, Linda Konnerth, Anna Pucilowski, and
Dan Wood of the Linguistics Department at the University of Oregon.
