Subject:  Symposium: RECONNECTING FINNIC

Dear linguists interested in Finnic ("Baltic Finnic") languages!

The Finnic research project (originally) located at the Dept. of Finno-Ugrian Studies of the
University of Helsinki (http://www.helsinki.fi/hum/sugl/proj/finnic.html) will organise an
international symposium, "RECONNECTING FINNIC", in Helsinki, November 15-16, 2002. The aim of
the symposium is to discuss the state-of-art in Finnic studies, the perspectives of especially
the minor, endangered Finnic languages (Karelian, Ludian, Vepsian, Ingrian, Votian, Livonian),
and their possible contribution to general linguistic studies or vice versa.

The symposium will consist of lectures given by linguists from Finland, Estonia, and other
countries, and of workshops (according to present plans, there will be three of them: grammar
and typology, ethno- and sociolinguistics, and areal and contact linguistics). Post-graduate
or advanced undergraduate students in particular, working on themes that are or can be
connected with the Finnic languages from a larger (e.g. diachronic, typological, areal)
perspective, or with the minor Finnic languages, are especially encouraged to participate.

For more information of the symposium, please visit its homepage
(http://www.helsinki.fi/hum/sugl/proj/recfin/), where you will find an on-line registration
form. Deadline for registration to the workshops is June 30, 2002.

Welcome!

Best,
