One of the keys to examine these phenomena more closely is to clarify the relationship of underived and derived in verb sets such as causative verbs and decausativizing mechanisms. Given that derivational morphology is widely used in the Uralic languages, we seek to bring new light to its importance for etymology and the diachrony of languages. In this respect, the evidence of the Uralic languages is also of more general interest. We are interested in identifying the role of different morphological and structural units in the diachronic development of valency and verb. • Does the evidence of Uralic branches and individual languages show similar patterns of change,or are they mutually contradictory? • How is grammatical information transferred from morphology to lexemes? • To what extent does the pairing of verbs, i.e. the relationship between an underived and derived words, reveal the diachrony of grammatically encoded lexemes? • What are the origins of valence-related suffixes in Uralic languages? • What valence-related derivational suffixes can be reconstructed for Proto-Uralic (PU) or intermediate branches? • For what PU verbs can valence be reconstructed? • Can we reconstruct PU derived verbs consisting of a verb root and valence-changing suffix? • Was causativization as predominant in PU as in many contemporary Uralic languages? • Was transitivity generally an inherent lexical property in PU, or were most/many verbs ambitransitive (labile)? The maximum length of each abstract is 3000 characters (including spaces). Abstract proposals must be submitted by September 30, 2019, using the electronic submission tool (for detailed information, see https://cifu13.univie.ac.at/call/). Upon submission, you should classify your abstract as a submission to the VIRSU symposium. In this conference, each participant can submit maximally two abstracts: one as the lead author (presenting author), one as a co-author. Please note that the abstracts must be in English. The title of the abstract, however, should be in the language in which you plan to give your talk. In addition to English, the actual papers can be presented in Hungarian, Finnish, Estonian, German or Russian, in which case visual support in English is strongly recommended.

All the best, Jeremy Bradley -------------------------------------------------------------------- The purpose of the conference series International Workshop on Computational Linguistics for Uralic Languages is to bring together researchers working on computational approaches to working with these languages. We accept long and short papers as well as tutorial proposals working on the following languages: Finnish, Hungarian, Estonian, Võro, the Sámi languages, Komi (Zyrian, Permyak), Mordvin (Erzya, Moksha), Mari (Hill, Meadow), Udmurt, Nenets (Tundra, Forest), Enets, Nganasan, Selkup, Mansi, Khanty, Veps, Karelian (Olonets), Karelian, Ingrian (Izhorian), Votic, Livonian, Ludic, and other related languages. All Uralic languages exhibit rich morphological structure, which makes processing them challenging for state-of-the-art computational linguistic approaches, the majority also suffer from a lack of resources and many are endangered. Research papers should be original, substantial and unpublished research, that can describe work-in-progress systems, frameworks, standards and evaluation schemes. Demos and tutorials will present systems and standards towards the goal of interoperability and unification of different projects, applications and research groups Appropriate topics include (but are not limited to): * Parsers, analysers and processing pipelines of Uralic languages * Lexical databases, electronic dictionaries * Finished end-user applications aimed at Uralic languages, such as spelling or grammar checkers, machine translation or speech processing * Evaluation methods and gold standards, tagged corpora, treebanks * Reports on language-independent or unsupervised methods as applied to Uralic languages * Surveys and review articles on subjects related to computational linguistics for one or more Uralic languages * Any work that aims at combining efforts and reducing duplication of work * How to elicit activity from the language community, agitation campaigns, games with a purpose To maximise the possibility of reproducibility, replication and reuse, we particularly encourage submissions which present free/open-source language resources and make use of free/open-source software. One of the aims of this gathering is to avoid unnecessary duplicated work in field of Uralistics by establishing connections and interoperability standards between researchers and research groups working at different sites. We have also identified a serious lack of gold standards and evaluation metrics for all Uralic languages including those with national support, any work towards better resources in these fields will be greatly appreciated. -- Jeremy Bradley, Ph.D. University of Vienna http://www.mari-language.com jeremy.moss.bradley at univie.ac.at Office address: Institut EVSL Abteilung Finno-Ugristik Universität Wien Campus AAKH, Hof 7-2 Spitalgasse 2-4 1090 Wien AUSTRIA Mobile: +43-664-99-31-788 Skype: jeremy.moss.bradley -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The Symposium is the continuation of a series of international symposia previously held in Tromsø in 2006 and 2009, and in Freiburg in 2017. The purpose of the symposium is to give researchers the opportunity to present current research, participate in formal and informal discussions on relevant topics, and explore potential opportunities for collaborative work. We especially encourage younger researchers at the Master’s and PhD levels to present their work. Papers related to all aspects of Saami languages and linguistics are welcome. The keynote speech will be given by Johanna Nichols (Berkeley) and address the topic of the typological westernization of Saamic. With this in mind, we are particularly looking forward to papers drawing on typological research. As it has been 400 years since the publication of the first book in Saami we also look forward to papers on the history of the written languages.

August 16–21, 2020), the symposium on Finno-Ugric languages in the Circum-Baltic area: typological maintenance and change will be held. The Finnic and Saami languages are among the languages of the Circum-Baltic area. The common features that have developed in these languages have led to discussions over whether the Circum-Baltic languages can be considered a Sprachbund. However, it has been found that the region is rather a contact superposition zone (Koptjevskaja-Tamm, Wälchli 2001), which is part of a buffer zone between SAE and Central Eurasia (Wälchli 2011). The Finnic and Saami languages fall either on the periphery of SAE or outside of it entirely (Haspelmath 1998, 2001). At the same time, though, changes are being observed which are bringing languages on the periphery of SAE closer to typical SAE languages (Heine, Kuteva 2006). As regards traditional morphological typology, the Finno-Ugric languages have been regarded as agglutinative, with the Saami and southern Finnic languages exceptional due to their high degree of fusion (Korhonen 1996). Agglutination is more prominent in Finnish, but the WALS data reveal that on the global scale, Finnish does not stand out in this regard, being of only roughly average complexity (Dahl 2008). The picture of the similarities and differences between Circum-Baltic languages can be supplemented by data from other databases. We call on researchers of Finnic and Saami languages and the compilers and users of existing databases to present new stances and new data regarding the typology and areality of the Circum-Baltic languages, to discuss these languages’ typological similarities and differences, maintenance and change.

Agglutination is more prominent in Finnish, but the WALS data reveal that on the global scale, Finnish does not stand out in this regard, being of only roughly average complexity (Dahl 2008). The picture of the similarities and differences between Circum-Baltic languages can be supplemented by data from other databases. We call on researchers of Finnic and Saami languages and the compilers and users of existing databases to present new stances and new data regarding the typology and areality of the Circum-Baltic languages, to discuss these languages? typological similarities and differences, maintenance and change.
