Meeting Description:

The Syntax of Uralic Languages (SOUL) is a recently launched series of
conferences organized biannually for linguists working on, or having an
interest in, Uralic languages. Over the last few years, the syntax of the
Uralic languages has become an exciting field of study in linguistic theory.
With its wealth of yet-to-be-charted domains of (morpho)syntactic phenomena,
wide range of variation as well as family-specific characteristics, the Uralic
family offers an abundant source of insights for theories of human language
with respect to topics like word order change, contact phenomena, information
structure, subordination, finiteness, negation, aspect, possession, agreement,
evidentiality and many more.

The first SOUL took place as part of the 12th International Congress for
Finno-Ugric Studies held at the University of Oulu on 17–21 August 2015 (under
the title The Syntactic Structure of Uralic Languages, http://ssul.nytud.hu/),
together with a sister workshop titled ‘The Syntax of Samoyedic and Ob-Ugric
Languages’ organized by Larisa Leisiö and Irina Nikolaeva. Inspired by the
success of the Oulu workshops, SOUL 2017 (http://www.nytud.hu/soul2017) was
organized two years later jointly by The Research Institute for Linguistics of
the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and Pázmány Péter Catholic University on
27–28 June 2017 in Budapest. The upcoming third meeting will take place in
June 2019 in Tartu.

The meeting seeks to provide a forum to present and discuss topical issues in
syntax and its grammatical interfaces in present-day or older Uralic
languages, including both comparative work as well as studies of single
languages or dialects, pursued from any theoretical or empirical perspective.
It is the aim of the series to advance research by fostering a productive
exchange of results and ideas across different linguistic frameworks,
promoting further integration and cross-fertilization of current directions of
inquiry in the field.

Nikolett F. Gulyás (ELTE): Impersonals in Finno-Ugric

Call for Papers:

We invite contributions that address issues in syntax, or at the interfaces of
syntax and semantics/pragmatics, as well as prosody, in one or several Uralic
languages (and their contact languages). In particular, we encourage
submissions addressing:

- the structure of nominal phrases (e.g. possession, determination, reference)
- the syntactic marking of information structure and discourse relations
- the syntactic marking of illocutionary force
- subordination (e.g. complementation, finite and non-finite structures)
- predication (e.g. copular constructions, secondary predicates)
- word order
- the syntax of particles
- reported speech constructions

This list is not exhaustive: we also welcome papers concerned with any other
topic in Uralic syntax. 
Anonymous abstracts cannot exceed two pages (including examples, figures, and
references), using 1in/2.5cm margins and a standard 12pt font.
One person may submit a maximum of two abstracts: one as a sole author or
co-author, and another one as a co-author.
Abstract should be submitted in .pdf format via EasyChair
