We are also planning to organise a grammar session. However, final decisions regarding the session will depend on the number of prospective participants willing to take part in it.
Each paper will be given 30 minutes, including 10 minutes for discussion. There will also be poster sessions.
The language of the conference is English.
Apart from block sessions, there will also be plenary lectures, delivered by our keynote speakers.
