The theme of SLG meetings is general and (south) Slavic linguistics. In
particular, we invite speakers whose work on the phonology, morphology, syntax

and spans all areas of (formal) linguisitcs. The primary goal of Sinfonija is to
connect people on the area of ex Yugoslavia and ex Austria-Hungary, but it is
open to participants from everywhere.

The main objectives of the Sarajevo Linguistic Gatherings are:
- Advancement of generative linguistics in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
- Development of a cooperative academic/research network between Bosnian and
other linguists, especially in areas of common interests.

(south) Slavic languages, especially Bosnian/Croatian/Montenegrin/Serbian.
