We acknowledge the First Nations people of the still unceded lands in which we live and work. We pay our respects to their elders, leaders and communities.

This event would not be possible without the financial support provided by the Australian Linguistic Society. We are also grateful for the assistance of the ALS Scientific Committee, our session chairs, and the many others who have helped make this conference a reality.

We dedicate this conference to the memory of all those lost to the COVID-19 pandemic.
