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.

The subject matter includes an innovative look at the problem of contact description in Europe, new terminological and methodological suggestions, and new research paradigms:

  • 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
  • Linguistic and cultural contacts in urban space
  • Investigation of functioning, change and interaction of local linguistic variants
  • History of language and intercultural interaction: research methods and sources
  • Interaction of languages and cultures in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Prussian Lithuania
  • Expression of written language and cultural interaction in the 16th-19th centuries
  • Expression of language contacts in onims
  • Baltic-Slavic contacts in time and space
