The Societas Linguistica Europaea and the Vilnius Local Organizing Committee invite you to submit workshop, poster and paper proposals for the next annual SLE meeting. SLE meetings give a forum to high-quality scientific research from all (sub)domains of linguistics. Every year local organizers pay special attention to one specific topic. Though the next annual meeting particularly welcomes papers on “Language contact: at the crossroads of disciplines and frameworks”, workshops, posters and individual papers are invited on topics belonging to all fields of linguistics.
