Our destination was Estonia – a multilingual country where the balance between different languages can differ not only from region to region but even among the districts of one city. The team consisted of two organizers, Ksenia Shagal and Mari Saraheimo, and seven students representing different Master’s programmes at the University of Helsinki. Our base camp was in Tallinn, but over the course of one week we also managed to spend some time in Tartu, Narva, and Narva-Jõesuu. The research topics explored by the team members included sociolinguistics, linguistic landscapes, grammar of Estonian, Southern Estonian and Erzya, as well as phonetics of the Russian language spoken in Estonia. Altogether, we interviewed around 80 people in six different languages, which resulted in hours of records, pages of notes, and, of course, invaluable experience that cannot be measured.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">In the upcoming seminar, we will share our fieldwork experience and present some preliminary results of our research projects.</div><div class="">The seminar will feature an introduction by<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b class="">Ksenia Shagal</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and three talks by the students:</div><div class="">1)<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b class="">Sara Carrier-Bordeleau</b>:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i class="">Linguistic Landscapes in Tallinn (and in general)</i></div><div class="">2)<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b class="">Héloïse Calame</b>: <i class="">Variation in Estonian negation</i></div><span class="">3)<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b class="">Anna Busheva</b>:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i class="">Influence of Estonian on the phonetics of Russian</i></span><br class=""></span></span></span><div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
