We invited papers on all Slavic languages, and the program contains
papers on Slovenian (2), Bulgarian (4), Polish (2 or more), Upper
and Lower Lusatian (also known as Sorbian, also known as Wendish),
Czech etc. Not all of these are made clear in the titles, but you
will notice Polish, Bulgarian, Bulgarian, Slovene, Polish.
I was one of the organizers, which kept
me too busy to write my own paper; but I have published works
which touch on Serbo-Croatian (all subtypes), Macedonian, Slovenian,
Ukrainian, and Belarusian, as well as Polish and Russian.
Linguists working on any of the above languages, as well as the
"smaller" ones such as Rusin, are cordially invited to send their
abstracts to next year's meeting!
Yours faithfully,
