The<br>conference follows up the previous symposia with the same name held in<br>Budapest in 2004, Helsinki in 2007, and Budapest in 2011.<br>The conference aims to bring together linguists working on Estonian,<br>Finnish, Hungarian and other Uralic languages who are interested in the<br>relations between grammatical and pragmatic aspects of language, between<br>extralinguistic situations and language as a set of systems, and how<br>these relations operate in actual language use. We invite papers from<br>either synchronic or diachronic perspectives. We are especially<br>interested in papers investigating morphosyntactic variation and its<br>relations with extralinguistic context, pragmatic factors, language<br>contact and so on. Papers are also encouraged which are based on text<br>linguistics, discourse analysis, conversation analysis, contrastive<br>grammar, language contact, second language learning and other approaches. <br><br>Keynote speakers<br><br>Plenary talks will be given by:<br>Casper de Groot (University of Amsterdam)<br>Leelo Keevallik (University of Link�ping)<br>Gerson Klumpp (University of Tartu)<br>Maria Vilkuna (Kotus, Helsinki)<br><br>Plenary papers by the invited speakers will be in English (45 min + 15<br>min for discussion).<br><br>Papers and the official languages of the conference<br>In addition to the plenary papers, the conference will consist of<br>section papers given by the participants (20 min + 10 min for discussion<br>for main session and theme session papers).
