Location: Vienna, Austria 
Contact Person: Ksenia Shagal

Language Family(ies): Uralic 

Call Deadline: 30-Sep-2019 

Meeting Description:

Languages belonging to the Uralic family are spoken on a vast territory
throughout Eurasia, and despite sharing a number of important structural
properties, they also demonstrate considerable diversity in all language
domains, including morphology and syntax. Importantly, the distribution of
various grammatical properties in the languages is not random, but it clearly
reflects their geographical distribution and different contact histories. For
instance, Western Uralic languages (e.g. Finnish and Hungarian), which have
been influenced by Slavic, Germanic and Baltic varieties, are in many respects
well-deserved members of the Standard Average European linguistic area. On the
other hand, Eastern Uralic varieties (e.g. Nenets and Khanty), which have been
in contact with northern Eurasian languages, such as Turkic and Yeniseian,
exhibit a number of features considered as areal traits in Siberia.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together specialists in various Uralic
languages working on contact phenomena in the domain of grammar. We welcome
contributions focusing on particular cases of contact-induced grammatical
change, as well as more general papers discussing the methodology of language
contact research and challenges specific to the Uralic family. Possible topics
for talks may relate to (but are not restricted to) the following:

- contact-induced grammaticalization,
- matter and pattern borrowing in contact situations,
- role of language contact in paradigm formation and morphological levelling,
- mechanisms of contact-induced language change,
- areal typological studies of particular grammatical features or
constructions,
- linguistic convergence in the Volga-Kama area,
- interaction of Uralic idioms with non-standard varieties of Russian,
- case studies of language contact from a broader perspective of historical
sociolinguistics.

After the workshop, we plan to publish a collection of articles by the
participants as an edited volume or a special issue of a journal. The language
of both the workshop and the joint publication will be English.
