Please write your name and the word 'abstract' in the subject field of your e-mail, and include your name, affiliation, contact information, and the title of the submission in the body of the message.

WARNING: Unfortunately, getting a Russian visa for a business trip is not easy. We will be able to send you an official invitation, but it takes several weeks to make it, and it is not very easy to get a visa with this kind of invitation from the university. If you would like to participate in the workshop, please consider getting a tourist visa - it is much easier to get.

Limited crash space is available upon request.

Organizing committee:

Igor Yanovich, Moscow State University Elizaveta Bylinina, Institute of Linguistics, Russian Academy of Sciences Peter Arkadiev, Institute of Slavic studies, Russian Academy of Sciences
