Meeting Description:

The Syntax of Uralic Languages (SOUL) is a series of conferences launched in
2015. It is organized for linguists interested in Uralic languages and working
on syntactic issues, which traditionally were understudied in Uralic
linguistics but recently have become a field of great interest from both
descriptive and theoretical points of view.
The 4th conference Syntax of Uralic Languages (SOUL-4), which was postponed
because of the pandemic, will take place at the Institute of Linguistic
Studies, St. Petersburg on 7–8 June 2022. We hope that the situation with the
pandemic will get better and the borders will be open, so we plan SOUL-4 as an
offline conference. However, the option of the online participation will be
available in any case.


2nd Call for Papers:

Syntax of Uralic Languages (SOUL-4) – Second Call

Deadline for submitting abstracts: 10 February 2022. 
All details can be found on the conference webpage:
https://iling.spb.ru/events/soul-4/info.html.en

Plenary Talks
The following plenary talks are planned:

Tuomas Huumo (University of Turku). Why partitive? On possible synchronic and
diachronic motivations for the partitive-case complement of some Baltic Finnic
adpositions.

Andrey Y. Filchenko (Nazarbayev University). Intonation units vis-a-vis
syntactic structures in Uralic and other Siberian languages

Publication
We have two potential options for publication of the conference papers.

The first option is a new journal which is called Journal of Uralic
Linguistics and will be published by John Benjamins Publishing Co.
(https://benjamins.com/catalog/jul).

The second option is Journal of Estonian and Finno-Ugric Linguistics (ESUKA –
JEFUL) (http://ojs.utlib.ee/index.php/jeful/about).

Both journals are peer reviewed.

As each of the journals can publish only a limited number of papers it is
likely that both options will be used. We will be able to provide more
detailed information when we know how many people are ready to submit their
papers.

When submitting your abstract please indicate whether you are going to submit
your paper for publication and if yes, which journal is preferable for you
(this choice is not binding). The deadlines for submissions will be announced
later but most likely it will be the end of summer or the beginning of autumn.

Travel to Russia
The situation with COVID is worse than we would like to see, and the Russian
border is not fully open. We started our investigation to define what are the
chances for foreign scholars to get a visa for visiting a conference. We will
inform you as soon as we get any reliable information.

Sincerely yours,
Fedor Rozhanskiy
