Contact Person: Anne Tamm

Call Deadline: 28-Feb-2017 

Meeting Description:

Uralic languages are rich in markers expressing the source of information, and
they distinguish several semantic types of evidentiality. Most evidential
systems are undergoing changes: some forms become optional, some disappear and
yet other forms emerge. In many Uralic languages and dialects, the verbs and
morphemes that have given rise to the evidential forms are still used in their
original form and function as well. Several evidentials are based on
non-finites and distinguish themselves in their syntax and morphology from
other non-finites or finite forms.


Call for Papers:

We welcome abstracts on (but not limited to) the following topics: 

- What are the characteristics of the Uralic evidential systems? What is their
syntax? What is their origin?
- What are the links with other categories, such as epistemic modality,
deixis, tense and aspect?
- What are the factors that determine the rise and loss of evidential markers
and the conditions of their optionality?
- What are the pros and cons of the methods of investigating Uralic forms of
expression of source marking, evidentials, evidential strategies, the
grammaticalization and lexicaliztation of source marking?
- What are the links between source marking and cognition?

Abstract submission

- Anonymous abstracts cannot exceed two pages (including examples, figures,
and references), using 1in/2.5cm margins and a standard 12pt font.
- One person may submit a maximum of two abstracts: one as a sole author or
co-author, and another one as a co-author.
- Deadline: 28 February 2017
