North and Central Asia (LENCA-2) will take place at Kazan State
University, Tatarstan, Russia, on May 11-14, 2004. Kazan is the capital
of the Tatarstan Republic in Russia. The topic of the symposium is
argument structure and grammatical relations in the languages spoken in
this area. The first symposium on the languages belonging to the LENCA-
group was at the Udmurt State University, Izhevsk, Udmurtia, Russia, on
May 19-22, 2001. The topic of the first symposium was deixis and
quantification in languages spoken in Europe and North and Central Asia.

The symposium will last for four days, and if needed, parallel sections
can be arranged. Particularly thinking of work in progress, also a
separate poster section will be arranged. The abstracts to be submitted
to the Programme Committee should not exceed four pages. The abstracts
will be published for the symposium, and also an internet version of the
abstracts will be available. Authors are encouraged to write their
papers so that most of the papers to be presented in the symposium could
be published later.
