We are happy to announce that Margit Bowler has agreed to join the TripleA steering committee! Margit is currently a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Manchester, and has worked on Warlpiri (Pama-Nyungan; Australia) and Tatar (Turkic; Russia), among other language. Margit is a TripleA regular and so far has attended all but one of the workshops. Welcome!

Thank you also to Anna Howell, who has served on the steering committee for the past six years and has helped organise two of the workshops. All the best for your future endeavours! Ia manuia tele le lumana’i.

We are excited to share with you the preliminary program for this year’s TripleA, which is now online on the workshop’s MIT website here. Niger-Congo languages will be particularly well represented at this year’s workshop, among them Wolof (Gambia, Senegal) and Ewe (Togo, Ghana).

Save the date! The steering committee is very pleased to announce that the TripleA6 workshop will be held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2019. Among the local organizers next year will be Verena Hehl and Suzana Fong.

Ryan Bochnak, Miriam Butt, Erlinde Meertens and Mark-Matthias Zymla have agreed to organize TripleA 5 in Constance next year (and they have managed to secure the university’s Senate Room, which has wall-to-wall views of the lake and Alps)! Check out their website for the 2018 TripleA workshop here. The deadline for abstract submissions is February 2, 2018. Please spread the word!

We are pleased to announce that the proceedings volume from the third TripleA workshop is out! Thank you very much to the authors for their contributions and to the Tübingen editors, Vera Hohaus and Wanda Rothe, for putting the volume together!

We are excited to share with you the preliminary program for this year’s TripleA workshop! Click here for a list of the talks that are scheduled. Among the many underrepresented languages on the program are Luganda, Kru, Grassfields and Ga (Niger-Congo), Daasanach, Somali and Ngamo (Afro-Asiatic), Malayalam and Telugu (Dravidian), Nuosu (Sino-Tibetan) as well as Samoan and Tsou (Austronesian).

We are also happy to report that the TripleA workshop series is prospering and growing as submissions were up by fifty percent! Unfortunately, we were therefore able to accept only less than half of the percent of abstracts that were submitted.
