Meeting Description:

''Balkan Languages and Dialects: Typology, Dialectometry, Corpus-Based
Studies” (Saint Petersburg 2020) carries on and extends the discussion of
topics raised at the conferences on corpus-based and quantitative approaches
to the Balkan languages and dialects that took place in 2016 and 2018 at the
Institute for Linguistic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences
(https://iling.spb.ru/confs/balkan2016/index.html,
https://iling.spb.ru/events/balkan2018/programme.html.ru).
We invite submissions from researchers who study various aspects of phonology,
grammar, and lexicon of any or several of the Balkan languages and dialects,
as well as specialists in the field of linguistic typology and comparative
studies of the world’s languages who use material from the languages of the
Balkan Peninsula in their works.
The conference focuses on the presentation and discussion of studies that
apply quantitative methods of linguistics typology and dialectometry to the
Balkan languages and dialects, corpus studies performed on the basis of the
already existing linguistic corpora and databases, and works examining the
Balkan languages and dialects in areal and typological perspective.


Call for Papers: 

We invite researchers who study phonology, grammar, and lexicons of the Balkan
languages and dialects and all linguists who consider the Balkan languages in
their studies to submit papers for the conference “Balkan Languages and
Dialects: Typology, Dialectometry, Corpus-Based Studies” that will be held in
Saint Petersburg, 15–16 October 2020. The conference focuses on the
presentation and discussion of synchronic and diachronic studies of any one or
several of the Balkan languages and dialects, as well as of the Balkan area as
a whole, in which:
- corpus-driven approach is applied,
- quantitative methods of linguistic data analysis are used,
- the material of the Balkan languages and dialects is considered in a wide
typological perspective.

We especially encourage studies performed on the basis of linguistic and
dialectological atlases, linguistic corpora and databases for the Balkan
languages and dialects, as well as contributions based on authors’ first-hand
field data.
 
The languages of the conference are English, French, German, and Russian.
Speaking time is 20 minutes, plus 10 minutes for discussion. 

There is no participation fee.
The organizers will not be able to cover participants’ travel and
accommodation expenses.
