Meeting Description:

On 26–28 June 2024, an international joint conference Livonica 3 +
Minor Finnic Languages 2 = 5 will be held in Rīga, Latvia. Livonica is
a conference dedicated to research related to Livonians, their
language, culture and history. It first took place in Rīga and Tartu
in 2011, and the second conference was held in UL Livonian Institute
in 2019. Minor Finnic Languages 1 – Historical and Current
Perspectives is a conference dedicated to research dedicated to all
Finnic languages except for Finnish and Estonian. It was first held in
Uppsala University in 2022.

The joint conference aims to bring historians, archaeologists,
geneticists, anthropologists, folklorists, linguists, and other
researchers together to explore the Central Baltic area, Livonians and
minor Finnic languages. The special focus will be towards contacts.
The purpose of the conference is to give researchers working on any of
these subjects the opportunity to present their current research, get
acquainted with the new research in related fields as well as
participate in formal and informal discussions, and most importantly
find new opportunities for collaboration.

Papers related to all aspects of minor Finnic cultures and languages
and contacts with them, in history, archeology, anthropology,
folkloristics, linguistics and related disciplines are welcome; we are
not expecting papers on issues only relevant to Estonia or Finland,
nor standard Estonian or standard Finnish. The keynote speeches will
be given by Kristiina Tambets (Tartu), Rogier Blokland (Uppsala), and
Jurgis Pakerys (Vilnius), and will address various topics: Livonians
in Archeogenetic data (K. Tambets), measuring the influence of Latvian
on Livonian (R. Blokland), and Finnic-Baltic contacts and transitivity
marking (J. Pakerys). Peer-reviewed articles based on the conference
presentations will be published in a special issue.

The conference languages are English and Livonian.
The conference will take place online if the pandemic situation
requires it.
There will be no registration fee for the conference.

Please submit an anonymous, one-page abstract – in PDF format only –
in one of the conference languages to liv at lu.lv by 18 February 2024.
The presentation length is 20 minutes with additional 10 minutes for
discussion.
Notification to authors: by 31 March 2024.
