Call for abstracts
We invite contributions that address issues in syntax in one or several Uralic languages (as well as their contact languages) in any theoretical framework. Abstracts on any relevant topic are welcome, but this year, we particularly encourage submissions dealing with:

- (morpho)syntax of postpositions and relational nouns;
- syntax of discourse particles;
- syntax of mood, modality and evidentiality;
- non-verbal predication patterns;
- pro-drop;
- contact phenomena in syntax;
- variation and geographical distribution of syntactic features within one language;
- interaction between formal and functional approaches in the analysis of language data.

Abstract submission
Abstracts should be anonymous (with no self-references). They should not exceed two pages (including examples, figures, and references), using 1in/2.5cm margins and a standard 12pt font. It might be worth considering these guidelines when writing an abstract: http://web.mit.edu/fintel/Rooryck&vanHeuven.pdf .

One person may submit up to two abstracts: one as a single author or co-author, and another one as a co-author.

Abstracts should be submitted to the conference email address soul...@gmail.com as PDF files. Please indicate the following in the body of your email:

- your name(s);
- title of your paper;
- your affiliation(s);
- your email(s);
- if you need an invitation (e.g. for a visa).

About SOUL
The Syntax of Uralic Languages (SOUL) is a biennial conference that first took place in Oulu in 2015. Its goal is providing a forum where researchers of Uralic languages working in different paradigms could exchange ideas and discuss their research and data. The talks at the previous SOUL conferences have covered a wide range of topics in both synchronic and diachronic (morpho)syntax in all branches of the Uralic language family, and presented empirical evidence and analyses in both formal and functional frameworks. We believe that bringing together scholars who apply different approaches to comparable data will lead to a fruitful dialogue and mutual enrichment. Programs of the previous two conferences can be found here: https://sites.google.com/view/soul4/programme and here: https://sisu.ut.ee/soul2019/conference-program.

Дорогие коллеги,

вашему вниманию предлагается второе информационное письмо о конференции по синтаксису уральских языков (почти идентичное первому). Дедлайн через два месяца, но поверьте, они пройдут быстро! Несмотря на очный характер конференции, те, кто ну совсем не может приехать, смогут выступить по зуму. По всем вопросам можно писать мне.

Selected papers from the conference will be published by the Journal of Uralic Linguistics (https://benjamins.com/catalog/jul).
