This conference is aimed at those who use electronic data in learner language analyses, as well as those who study Finno-Ugric learner languages, their acquisition and teaching. The conference will be organised to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the VIRSU project and to introduce the CoLLU project (Corpus study on Learner Language Universals). VIRSU was originally a cooperative project for teachers and researchers of Estonian and Finnish as a foreign language. It has recently expanded its aims and thus seeks to create connections between all linguists working with any of the Finno-Ugric target (foreign or second) languages, or the language situations in the countries where Finno-Ugric languages are spoken. The CoLLU project in turn focuses on the identification of Learner Language Universals that are present in a learner language regardless of the learner's mother tongue. The project hosts the ICLFI Corpus, which is a multi-mother tongue corpus of learner Finnish that is almost five years old. The invited keynote speakers are Professor Fanny Meunier (Centre for English Corpus Linguistics, Université Catholique de Louvain), Professor Charlotte Gooskens (Scandinavian Department, University of Groningen), Postdoctoral Researcher Minna Suni (Academy of Finland, University of Jyväskylä). The languages of the conference will be Finnish and English.
