Abstracts on other aspects of Baltic linguistics will also be considered. Fee: The participation fee is 30 Euros that will cover 3 coffee breaks and the conference dinner, as well as the necessary conference materials. The lunches are not included in the fee, but there are several relatively modest price lunch restaurants near to Metsätalo.

Include your name, affiliation (university or other institution) and e-mail address. Abstracts are welcome in English and the Baltic languages. All abstracts will be reviewed by an international committee. We will notify you about the acceptance of your paper by 1 February 2012. Presentations: Participants will be given 20 minutes for their presentations, followed by 10 minutes for questions and discussion. The choice of language should be made by the participant: we kindly ask you to aim to an optimal comprehension of your presentation.
