Call for papers
Siberian life: language and culture in the great North
In recent decades a number of interrelated subdisciplines of linguistics such as anthropological linguistics, ethnosyntax, or cultural linguistics have arisen which are still in the stage of defining themselves. The aim of the workshop is to bring together scholars to explore the potential of these young disciplines.
The Institute for Finno-Ugric/Uralic studies at the University of Hamburg invites scholars from all fields of linguistics, anthropology and ethnology to take part in a workshop on the ethnolinguistics of the indigenous languages and peoples of Northern Siberia. Any topics from the above mentioned fields are welcome for presentation. Papers investigating cultural effects on grammar are especially appreciated.
The workshop will take place from 4th – 5th of February 2021 at the University of Hamburg (Universität Hamburg) in Hamburg, Germany.
Abstract
We invite abstracts for a 20-minute presentation (plus 10 minute discussion). Abstracts should not exceed 250 words, excluding references and language examples.
