We invite papers on the above theme from a synchronic or a diachronic perspective. You can approach the theme, e.g., from the point of view of text linguistics, conversation analysis, translation studies, language learning and teaching, or second/foreign language use. Papers can also be submitted on aspects of grammar research, variation studies, contact linguistics, anthropological linguistics etc. The invited speakers at the symposium are Professor Tuomas Huumo of the University of Tartu and Professor Csaba Pléh of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. The 45-minute plenary papers are given in English. In addition to the plenary papers, the symposium consists of the section papers given by the participants (20 min + 10 min for discussion). The main languages of the symposium are Hungarian, Finnish and English. Section papers can also be given in Estonian, German and Russian.
