[Ura-list] VL: CALL: Areal linguistics: Uralic languages. Riga: June 12–14, 2025

[Siiroinen, Mari]

Dear all,

I was asked to distribute this call to potentially interested colleagues.

Note that although the focus of the conference is Uralic languages, the organizers welcome areal-typological studies that have general interest and that may not treat Uralic languages at all. Feel free to pass on the call to others who might be interested.

Best wishes,
Kaius Sinnemäki

·  corpus-based studies of specific contact phenomena between Uralic and non-Uralic languages
·  at the same time, we are very much interested in qualitative research on important topics in language contact including but not limited to contact-induced grammaticalization and disentangling common inheritance from parallel and contact-induced developments within Uralic
·  the sociolinguistic dimensions of language contact in Uralic
·  interdisciplinary approaches to understanding language contacts of Uralic languages
