Meeting Description:

The Livonians, though one of the smallest nations in Europe, have had a
significant role in the languages, history, and culture of the Baltic Sea
region, while also maintaining their own unique linguistic and cultural
identity up to the present. This conference of Livonian studies will feature
presentations on a wide range of subjects relating to the Livonians: language
and its documentation, sociolinguistics, language contact, history,
archaeology, anthropology as well as studies focusing on more recent
developments in the Livonian community, culture, folklore, ethnology,
contemporary cultural processes and the interaction between these various
areas.

2018 was a year filled with significant events for the Livonian community as
well as for the study of Livonian language and culture. The Livonian cultural
space was added to the Latvian national intangible cultural heritage list and
the journey began towards its inclusion in the relevant UNESCO list. The last
year also saw the founding of the Livonian Institute at the University of
Latvia. The LIVONICA conference is dedicated to the University of Latvia on
its one-hundredth anniversary as well as to the new institute on its first
anniversary. A special Livonian cultural programme is also planned for the
conference participants.

This conference is a part of the UNESCO Year of Indigenous Languages (2019)
programme.

A peer-reviewed collection of articles in English will be published following
the conference.
