The purpose of this conference is to give researchers working on minor Finnic languages 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 junior researchers to present their work. </span></p><p class="ydpc881d503MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: medium; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Helvetica;"> </span></p><p class="ydpc881d503MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: medium; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Papers related to <b>all aspects of minor Finnic languages and linguistics</b> are welcome; we are not expecting papers on standard Estonian or standard Finnish. The keynote speeches will be given by <b>Riho Grünthal</b> (Helsinki) and <b>Valt Ernštreit</b> (Riga) and address the topic of the typology of Finnic (Grünthal) and the revitalization of Livonian (Ernštreit). Peer-reviewed conference presentations will be published in the Studia Uralica Upsaliensia series.</span></p><p class="ydpc881d503MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: medium; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Helvetica;"> </span></p><p class="ydpc881d503MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: medium; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Helvetica;">For more information see:</span></p><p class="ydpc881d503MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: medium; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Helvetica;"> </span></p><p class="ydpc881d503MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: medium; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><a href="https://www.moderna.uu.se/forskning/finsk-ugriska/mfl1/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.moderna.uu.se/forskning/finsk-ugriska/mfl1/</a></span></p><p class="ydpc881d503MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: medium; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Helvetica;"> </span></p><p class="ydpc881d503MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: medium; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Helvetica; color: rgb(5, 5, 5);">Please submit an anonymous, one-page abstract - in PDF format only - in one of the conference languages via <b>EasyChair</b> </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><a href="https://easychair.org/cfp/MFL1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: rgb(5, 85, 164);">https://easychair.org/cfp/MFL1</span></a> </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Helvetica; color: rgb(5, 5, 5);">by<b> 15 March 2022</b></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Helvetica; color: rgb(5, 5, 5);">.</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"></span></p><p class="ydpc881d503MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: medium; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Helvetica; color: rgb(5, 5, 5);"> </span></p><p class="ydpc881d503MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: medium; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Helvetica; color: rgb(5, 5, 5);">Notification to authors: <b>04 April 2022</b>.</span></p><p class="ydpc881d503MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: medium; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Helvetica;"> </span></p><p class="ydpc881d503MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: medium; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Helvetica;">There will be no registration fee for the conference. </span></p><p class="ydpc881d503MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: medium; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Helvetica;"> </span></p><p class="ydpc881d503MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: medium; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Helvetica;"> </span></p><p class="ydpc881d503MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: medium; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Best,</span></p><p class="ydpc881d503MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: medium; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Helvetica;">the organizing committee (Rogier Blokland, Helen Plado, Riitta-Liisa Valijärvi)</span></p><div><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Helvetica;"> </span></div></div></body></html>
