Call Deadline: 28-Feb-2017 

Meeting Description:

Over the last few years, the syntax of the Uralic languages has become an
exciting field of study in linguistic theory. With its wide range of variation
as well as family-specific characteristics, the Uralic family offers an
abundant source of insights for theories of human language with respect to
topics like word order change, contact phenomena, information structure,
subordination, possession, evidentiality and more.

The Conference on the Syntax Of Uralic Languages (SOUL) provides a forum to
discuss current research on the synchronic or diachronic syntax of Uralic
languages and dialects, including both comparative work as well as studies of
single languages or dialects.

Invited Speakers:

Prof Anders Holmberg (Newcastle University)
Prof Gerson Klumpp (University of Tartu)

As part of the conference, there will be a special session on: Evidentiality
in Uralic.

We plan to publish selected papers from the conference in the journal FULL
(Finno-Ugric Languages and Linguistics).


2nd Call for Papers:

The Conference on the Syntax Of Uralic Languages (SOUL) provides a forum to
discuss current research on the synchronic or diachronic syntax of Uralic
languages and dialects, including both comparative work as well as studies of
single languages or dialects. We invite theoretically informed contributions
that address issues in syntax, or at the interfaces of syntax and
semantics/pragmatics, as well as prosody (each talk will be 30 minutes,
followed by a 10-minute discussion period). In particular, we welcome studies
addressing:

- The structure of the nominal phrases (e.g. possession, determination,
reference)
- The structure of the clausal left periphery, and the syntactic marking of
information and discourse structure
- Subordination (e.g. complementation, finite and non-finite structures)
- Negation (e.g. word order of negation)
- Predication (e.g. copular constructions)

We also encourage papers concerned with any other topic in Uralic syntax.

As part of the conference, there will be a special session on: Evidentiality
in Uralic.

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
