We invite abstract submissions addressing the following topics:

-- Borrowing of grammatical and lexical patterns from Russian into
indigenous languages of Russia or between indigenous languages of
Russia.
-- Radical changes in the grammar and lexicon of indigenous languages
in the situation of language shift to Russian or to another language.
-- Contact-induced features in the Russian speech of native speakers
of indigenous languages.
-- Russian-based pidgins.
-- Code-switching and code-mixing in the languages of Russia.

The conference aims to bring together researchers working on
indigenous languages of Russia, experts in the Russian language, and
sociolinguists. Papers based on new field data, as well as
corpus-based studies are especially encouraged.

Topics which will not be discussed at the conference: sociological
aspects of language contact without any linguistic issues; practical
issues related to revitalization of minority languages, teaching
Russian as L2 etc.; dialectal and regional features of Russian for
which there is no reasonable evidence for contact-induced origin;
problems of etymology.
