SUMMARY:Language contact in the circumpolar world
LOCATION:Institute of Linguistics RAS\, Moscow\, Russia
DESCRIPTION:Language contact in the circumpolar world\nInstitute of Linguistics RAS, Mo
 scow, Russia; 27-29 October 2017\n \nThe circumpolar world includes the Arc
 tic as defined by AMAP (Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program) with adja
 cent areas. This vast territory has a number of common features that set it
  apart from any other part of the world: extremely harsh climate conditions
 , low population density, large distances between speakers of different lan
 guages or even of the same language, seasonal migrations for hundreds of mi
 les, prevalence of hunter-gatherers with absolutely no traditional farming,
  etc. While language contact has been a popular topic of linguistic researc
 h in the last couple of decades, there have been few studies that would con
 centrate on the circumpolar region and specifics of language contact in the
  area.\n\n The ‘Language contact in the circumpolar world’ conference will 
 bring together researchers studying language contact in the North, and disc
 ussions of any aspect of the topic are welcome. Of particular importance is
  the question of whether language contact in the circumpolar world is diffe
 rent from that of other areas, and if so, in which particular respects.\n\n
  The conference will feature papers selected by the Organizing committee, i
 nvited lectures by leading international experts specializing in the topic,
  and two extended tutorials on particular parts of the circumpolar world, ‘
 Language Contact in Arctic Canada & Greenland’ by Michael Fortesque (Un
 iversity of Copenhagen) and ‘Language Contact in Arctic Europe’ by Jussi Yl
 ikoski (The Arctic University of Norway & University of Oulu).\nThe con

 ritory has a number of common features that set it apart from any other par
 t of the world: extremely harsh climate conditions, low population density,
  large distances between speakers of different languages or even of the sam
 e language, seasonal migrations for hundreds of miles, prevalence of hunter
 -gatherers with absolutely no traditional farming, etc. While language cont
 act has been a popular topic of linguistic research in the last couple of d
 ecades, there have been few studies that would concentrate on the circumpol
 ar region and specifics of language contact in the area.<br /><br /> The ‘L
 anguage contact in the circumpolar world’ conference will bring together re
 searchers studying language contact in the North, and discussions of any as
 pect of the topic are welcome. Of particular importance is the question of 
 whether language contact in the circumpolar world is different from that of
  other areas, and if so, in which particular respects.<br /><br /> The conf
