My colleagues Rigina Ajanki, Ekaterina Gruzdeva, Arja Hamari, and Matti Miestamo and I will host an international conference on “Descriptive grammars and typology: the challenges of writing grammars of underdescribed and endangered languages” at the University of Helsinki on 27–29 March 2019.
Keynote speakers:
- Pius Akumbu (University of Buea, Cameroon)
- Diana Forker (University of Bamberg, Germany)
- Juha Janhunen (University of Helsinki, Finland)
- Joshua Wilbur (University of Freiburg, Germany)
Abstracts are due on 30 September 2018. See the call for papers for more details. The topics are dear to my heart, and I’m extremely excited for this gathering of experts studying languages from around the world.
