The Institute for Linguistic Studies of the Russian Academy of
Sciences (St. Petersburg, Tuchkov Lane, 9) is holding the 6th
Conference on Uralic, Altaic, and Paleoasiatic Languages on November
23–25, 2026. This conference will be dedicated to the centenary of the
birth of A. M. Shcherbak.
The conference will be held in a hybrid (online and offline) format.
Here is a tentative list of topics that will be explored at the
conference using data from Uralic, Altaic, and Paleoasiatic languages:
1) Phonology, grammar and lexicon.
2) Language contacts.
3) Sociolinguistic and ethnolinguistic studies.
4) Comparative and historical studies.
5) Corpus-based studies.
The conference may include workshops. The topic of a workshop cannot
be limited to a single genetic group or language family. Proposals for
workshops should be sent to the following email address:
langrus.spb at gmail.com by July 15, 2026. The proposal must contain a
description of the workshop and at least 8 abstracts or summaries of
the talks. Workshop participants can submit an abstract of up to 3,600
characters (excluding references and glosses; see abstract
requirements below) or a short summary of their talk. In the latter
case, if the workshop is accepted into the conference program,
participants must submit their full abstract by September 1, 2026. The
organizing committee will send notifications regarding the acceptance
or rejection of workshop proposals by July 30, 2026.
Anonymous abstracts for the general session or a workshop should be
sent to langrus.spb at gmail.com by September 1, 2026. Abstracts must not
exceed 3,600 characters (including spaces, examples, diagrams, and
tables, but excluding references and glosses). Please submit abstracts
in .doc, .docx, or .rtf format. If you use non-standard fonts, please
attach them to the email and also provide your abstract in .pdf
format. The body of the email must include the following author
details: full name, affiliation (place of work or study), and email
address. Please also specify whether your presentation is intended for
a workshop or the general session, and whether you plan to present
online or offline. Each participant may submit a maximum of two
abstracts, provided that at least one of the presentations is
co-authored.
The Organizing Committee will select abstracts based on an anonymous
peer-review process. Notifications of acceptance or rejection will be
sent to authors no later than October 1, 2026.
Presentation format: 30 minutes (a 20-minute talk followed by a
