PREFACE

This year PRASASTI - International Seminar on Linguistics—is conducted in commemorating Universitas Sebelas Maret’s anniversary. Six keynote speeches are presented covering descriptive linguistics, pragmatics as well as translation studies. Those three major interests also represent the parallel papers which reach 170. Overall, including the presenters, 204 domestic and international participants attend this scientific meeting.

We would like to express our gratitude to all of players who have helped us make this meeting possible, especially Universitas Sebelas Maret for the funding, Balai Bahasa Jawa Tengah for the support, The Hong Kong Polytechnic Univeristy and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia for the cooperative support with the speakers.   Our deep gratitude is also strongly forwarded to all individuals who take parts in this event, especially all the presenters and participants as well as all students and staffs who have been involved in the preparation and execution of the seminar.

It is expected that the seminar will give academic benefits, mainly in broadening the participants’ horizon of knowledge on linguistics. However, we realize that this seminar is still far from being perfect. On that account, constructive criticism is much welcome for the improvement of the same event in the future.

Thank you very much for participating PRASASTI and sharing your ideas and expertise in this event. Warm welcome to all of you and have a nice seminar.

Best Regards

On behalf of committee,

Djatmika
