<div class="news-single-subheader"><p class="">Monday June 15, 2015, EVSL / Finno-Ugristik, Campus Spitalgasse 2-4 Hof 7.2</p></div>
<div class="news-single-content"><p class="">To this planning and networking
event, selected specialists of language teaching and applied linguists
are invited from Hungary, Finland and Estonia. The aim is to discuss our
practical possibilities of cooperation in various issues, such as the
teaching of morphologically rich languages, developing teaching
materials or interlanguage corpora, or the teaching of heritage
languages especially to dispersed speakers outside traditional minority
communities, with a <b class="">longer-term goal of developing international research projects and other institutionalized forms of cooperation</b>.
</p><p class="">The closed workshop ends with an <b class="">open discussion event</b> to
which all interested colleagues are cordially invited. The event will
begin at 17:30 with short introductory talks summarizing the central
issues and continues with discussion and refreshments. </p><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">2. On Tuesday, June 16, at 15:00 in the Department Library
(Fachbereichbibliothek Finno-Ugristik, Campus 7.2), Dr Helka Riionheimo
(University of Eastern Finland, Joensuu) will give a guest lecture on</div><p class=""><b class=""><i class="">Perceptual Karelian.</i></b>
</p><p class="">The Karelian language was spoken in Finland in so-called Border
Karelia, the easternmost corner of pre-WWII Finland. In World War II,
parts of Southeastern Finland, including Border Karelia, were ceded to
the Soviet Union, their inhabitants systematically evacuated and
resettled in other parts of Finland. Under assimilation pressure from
the education system and the whole society, many Karelian-speaking
evacuee families shifted to Finnish. This lecture, based on research by
Riionheimo and Prof. Marjatta Palander, will deal with questions of folk
linguistics and dialectology: what do descendants of Karelian-speaking
evacuees remember of the language which their parents or grandparents
spoke, and how they perceive Karelian features in audio samples.
</p><p class=""><i class="">Helka Riionheimo</i> received her PhD in 2007 with a dissertation
that addresses contact linguistic issues from a broad theoretical
perspective. The work was linked to a wide range of areas of linguistic
research: studies of Finnish dialects, studies of Finnic languages
(especially of Estonian), studies of language contact, language
attrition and language death, and studies of morphology and
morphological processing. Alongside her work as Lecturer at the
University of Eastern Finland, Riionheimo has worked in research
projects such as "Complexity in Contact: the maintenance of
morphophonology in Baltic Finnic contacts (2010-2013)", <a href="http://www2.uef.fi/fi/finka/finka" title="Opens external link in new window" target="_blank" class="external-link-new-window">FINKA</a> (On the borderline of Finnish and Karelian: perspectives on cognate languages and dialects), and <a href="https://wiki.uef.fi/display/CROSSLING/CROSSLING" title="Opens external link in new window" target="_blank" class="external-link-new-window">CROSSLING</a> (Language Contacts at the Crossroads of Disciplines). </p></div><div apple-content-edited="true" class="">
