The ICNGL conference series provides an open forum for linguistic research in order to facilitate the exchange of ideas on Nordic (including Germanic, Finnic, Saamic and Greenlandic) and other languages, between researchers from the Nordic countries and elsewhere. Its main goals are to create and strengthen connections between researchers working on different languages, with different methodological and theoretical approaches. The Freiburg conference will have a special focus on language contact. Call for Papers: In keeping with the goals of the conference series, we invite abstracts for 20-minute papers or for posters on research topics in Nordic and General Linguistics. We especially welcome papers relating to the conference topic of language contact in the Nordic area or concerning Nordic languages elsewhere, but also encourage submissions on issues such as: 1) Field linguistics 2) Areal typology 3) Grammaticalization 4) Pragmatics 5) Intercomprehension 6) Innovative methodologies. Abstracts should be between 300 and 500 words in length and should fit on a single sheet of paper. References, examples, and diagrams can be placed on a second sheet. Abstracts are to be submitted via EasyAbs: http://linguistlist.org/confcustom/icngl2012 Abstract submission opened on June 1st, 2011. The deadline is November 1st, 2011. Authors will be notified of the outcome of their abstract on December 15th, 2011.
