[Ura-list] SOUL6 (Budapest, June 24-26, 2026) - 1st call for papers

[Ekaterina Georgieva]

Dear Colleagues,

The ELTE Research Centre for Linguistics is pleased to announce the  
6th Conference on the Syntax of Uralic Languages (SOUL6), to be held  
on June 24-26, 2026 in Budapest. The Syntax of Uralic Languages (SOUL)  
is a biennial conference that first took place in Oulu in 2015. Its  
goal is to provide a forum where researchers of Uralic languages  
working in different paradigms could exchange ideas and discuss their  
research and data. For further information on the SOUL conference  
series please visit  
https://sites.google.com/view/soul-conference-series/home. SOUL6 is  
planned as a two-day conference (with a poster session), and it will  
also feature a one-day satellite workshop on mixed extended  
projections (MixPAC), for which a separate CfP will be announced.

(including examples, figures, and references), using 1in/2.5cm margins  
and Times New Roman 12 pt font.

One person may submit up to two abstracts: one as a single author or

(Note: Over the three days of the conference (SOUL6 + workshop), one  
person may be involved in no more than two presentations.)
