Meeting Description:

This conference focuses on the conceptualization of time in grammatical and
lexical expressions in the Circum-Baltic languages. We expect talks on the
following topics:

- Tense systems and their interaction with aspect, mood, evidentiality and
negation
- Expression of simultaneity, anteriority and posteriority (by participles,
converbs/gerunds, etc.)
- Sequencing of events in narration
- Adverbs, adpositions and cases marking temporal relations
- Adverbs and nouns denoting time spans (expressions like 'yesterday', 'last
year', the names of weekdays and months, etc.)
 
Another dimension of the meeting is relative chronology of the languages of
the Circum-Baltic area and we welcome talks dealing with the chronological
aspects of language change, borrowing, language splits, etc.

Invited speakers:

- Tuomas Huumo (Turku University)
- Bernhard Wälchli (Stockholm University)
 
This conference belongs to a series of meetings ''Baltic Languages and White
Nights'' initiated by the State University of Saint Petersburg in 2008 and
later organized annually and biannually around the Baltics before the
Midsummer. Previous meetings took place in Oslo (2009), Stockholm (2010),
Helsinki (2012), Tartu (2014), and Riga (2016).
