> The circumpolar world includes the Arctic as defined by AMAP (Arctic 
> Monitoring and Assessment Program) with adjacent areas. This vast 
> territory has a number of common features that set it apart from any 
> other part of the world: extremely harsh climate conditions, low 
> population density, large distances between speakers of different 
> languages or even of the same language, seasonal migrations for 
> hundreds of miles, prevalence of hunter-gatherers with absolutely no 
> traditional farming, etc. While language contact has been a popular 
> topic of linguistic research in the last couple of decades, there have 
> been few studies that would concentrate on the circumpolar region and 
> specifics of language contact in the area.

> place at the Institute of Linguistics in Moscow in October 2017 (see 
> http://iling-ran.ru/main/conferences/2017_circumpolar for more 
> details). The first conference collected several dozens of researchers 
> working on a variety of topics, including linguistic 
> history/prehistory in the north and the methods used to reconstruct 
> it, structural phenomena in specific languages influenced by contact, 
> language varieties formed by intense contacts (pidgins, argots, 
> non-standard varieties of Russian, etc.), areal linguistics, 
> sociolinguistic aspects of language contact and case studies of 
> specific language ecologies, language shift and language attrition, 
> etc. The exchange of ideas showed so fruitful that we have decided to 
> make this conference regular, with bi-annual meetings.

> Apart from the general session devoted exclusively to the North, this 
> 2nd conference will feature a special session ‘Typology of linguistic 
> areas’ whose aim is to discuss possible methodologies and successful 
> attempts to generalize over linguistic areas in any part of the world. 
> How can different linguistic areas be compared, in general and as 
> regards peculiarities of the language contact? What are the ways of 
> describing linguistic areas that would facilitate their subsequent 
> comparison? How can language contact in one area, e.g. in the Arctic, 
> be contrasted to language contact in other parts of the world? These 
> are examples of the issues we would like to discuss at this special 
> session.

> We welcome abstracts both for this special session or for the general 
> session. For the general session we invite abstracts on any topic 
> pertaining to language contact in the circumpolar region, including 
> but not limited to:
>
> -       language change conditioned by language contact,
> -       mixed languages,
> -       linguistic areas or Sprachbund’s,
> -       reconstructing the past through linguistic data,
> -       patterns of traditional or modern multilingualism,
> -       sociolinguistic details of modern or historic language contact,
> -       northern varieties of larger languages that are not restricted 
> to the region (e.g. dialects of Russian, Swedish, English, etc.),
> -       cartography of language contact areas,
> -       methodology of language contact studies which takes into 
> account specific features of the region.
