Interaction of Languages and Cultures in Europe: Border and Contact Areas

The increasingly dynamic processes of linguistic and intercultural contact taking place in different parts of Europe present new challenges for researchers. We invite scientists to discuss methods of modernization of instruments used for border studies, not only describing the Slavic-Baltic border regions, but also to compare research results with outcomes on interaction between modern languages and cultures.

- Migration processes, their stability and change in language and culture
- Erosion of language barriers in the context of multilingualism and multiculturalism
- Use of active and passive competences in intercultural contacts
- Communication situation of national and regional languages in the context of globalization
