Meeting Description:	CROSSLING Symposium: Language Contacts at the Crossroads of Disciplines University of Eastern Finland, Joensuu February 28-March 1, 2013 The goal of this symposium is to bring together scholars working on language contact, cross-linguistic influence or contact-induced change and variation within different disciplines. The symposium aims to promote cross-disciplinary and cross-methodological discussion in the study of language contact and strives for genuine discussion and cross-pollination between various disciplines and research traditions, their theories, methods, and data, and between researchers of different languages. The invited speakers of the symposium are: Gaëtanelle Gilquin (Université catholique de Louvain) Svenja Kranich & Viktor Becher (Universität Hamburg) Anna Verschik (Tallinna Ülikool) The participation fee is 50 euros or 30 euros (students and PhD students). The symposium is organized by CROSSLING, a young cross-disciplinary research network set up at the University of Eastern Finland. The network has received funding from the Kone foundation (http://www.koneensaatio.fi/en/). The researchers of CROSSLING combine different areas of research which deal with language contact: contact linguistics, second language acquisition research and translation studies, and they work with different languages and language pairs.
