Over the last few years, the syntax of the Uralic languages has become an exciting field of study in linguistic theory. With its wealth of yet-to-be-charted domains of (morpho)syntactic phenomena, wide range of variation as well as family-specific characteristics, the Uralic family offers an abundant source of insights for theories of human language with respect to topics like word order change, contact phenomena, information structure, subordination, finiteness, negation, aspect, possession, agreement, evidentiality and many more.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri;" class="">The first SOUL took place as part of the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US" class=""><a href="http://www.oulu.fi/suomenkieli/fuxii/englanti/etusivu" id="LPlnk608498" class="OWAAutoLink" previewremoved="true"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: windowtext;" class="">12th International Congress for Finno-Ugric Studies</span></a></span><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri; color: windowtext;" class=""> </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri;" class="">held at the University of Oulu on 17–21 August 2015 (under the title The Syntactic Structure of Uralic Languages,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US" class=""><a href="http://ssul.nytud.hu/" id="LPlnk241591" class="OWAAutoLink" previewremoved="true"><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: windowtext;" class="">http://ssul.nytud.hu/</span></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri;" class="">), together with a sister workshop titled ‘The Syntax of Samoyedic and Ob-Ugric Languages’ organized by Larisa Leisiö and Irina Nikolaeva.
