Grammar and Context
New Approaches to the Uralic Languages III
Budapest, 19–21 April 2011

First call for papers

A symposium on Grammar and Context – New Approaches to the Uralic Languages
will be held in Budapest, 19–21 April 2011. The symposium is a follow-up to
those of the same name held in Budapest in the spring of 2004, and in
Helsinki in the summer of 2007.

The objective of the symposium is to bring together linguists and doctoral
students who are working on Hungarian, Finnish, Estonian and other Uralic
languages and who are interested in the relation between pragmatic and
grammatical aspects of language, i.e. in the way extra-linguistic situations
affect language as a set of systems and how this relation between grammar
and context can be seen in actual language use.

We invite papers on the above theme from a synchronic or a diachronic
perspective. You can approach the theme, e.g., from the point of view of
text linguistics, conversation analysis, translation studies, language
learn­ing and teaching, or second/foreign language use. Papers can also be
submitted on aspects of grammar research, variation studies, contact
linguistics, anthropological linguistics etc.

Papers and the official languages of the symposium
The invited speakers at the symposium are Professor Tuomas Huumo of the
University of Tartu and Professor Csaba Pléh of the Budapest University of
Technology and Economics. The 45-minute plenary papers are given in English.
In addition to the plenary papers, the symposium consists of the section
papers given by the participants (20 min + 10 min for discussion). The main
languages of the symposium are Hungarian, Finnish and English. Section
papers can also be given in Estonian, German and Russian.
