The University of Novi Sad (with some help from The University of Nova Gorica) is pleased to invite you to submit abstracts for the third annual conference SinFonIJA (Syntax + Phonology + language analysis, first held in October 2008 at the University of Nova Gorica in Slovenia), which will take place on October 1 - 3, 2010, in Novi Sad.
