Dear colleagues,

Please find below the call for papers for the conference “Areal linguistics
and language contact of Uralic languages. Language-specific and typological
approaches <https://sites.google.com/view/lcu2025/home?authuser=0>”, to be
held on *June 12–14, 2025* in Riga, Latvia.
Invited speakers:* Gerson Klumpp
<https://ut.ee/en/employee/gerson-stefan-klumpp> *(University of Tartu),* Kaius
Sinnemäki
<https://researchportal.helsinki.fi/en/persons/kaius-sinnem%C3%A4ki>
*(University
of Helsinki).


The goal of this conference is to combine language-specific, qualitative
and typological, quantitative approaches to areal linguistics and language
contact with the focus on Uralic languages and their contact languages. We
encourage submissions addressing (but not limited to) the following topics:

   - typological approaches to language contact and areal linguistics of
   Uralic
   - corpus-based studies of specific contact phenomena between Uralic and
   non-Uralic languages
   - at the same time, we are very much interested in qualitative research
   on important topics in language contact including but not limited to
   contact-induced grammaticalization and disentangling common inheritance
   from parallel and contact-induced developments within Uralic
   - the sociolinguistic dimensions of language contact in Uralic
   - interdisciplinary approaches to understanding language contacts of
   Uralic languages

Anonymized abstracts in PDF format should be submitted to the conference
email at *uralic.in.contact at gmail.com <uralic.in.contact at gmail.com>*
by *December
1, 2024.*
Abstracts must be written in English and should not exceed one page (using
11pt font), excluding references and figures.  One person may submit up to
two abstracts: one as a single author or co-author, and another one as a
co-author. Note that affiliations with Russian institutions and references
to Russian grants cannot be acknowledged.
