The Anatolia-Caucasus-Iran region is distinguished by its multi-ethnic and multilingual nature. Languages in these areas belong to different language families — Indo-European, Turkic, Caucasian — and have long been in constant interactions, shaping various combinations of linguistic phenomena: substrate-superstrate-adstrate; language unions (Sprachbunds), like Armenian-Turkic-Caucasian, including within the same language continuum, as, for instance, South Caucasian-Aturpatakan Iranian Sprachbund. Moreover, nowhere in the world the spoken language is so actualized with regard to the ethnic issues than in the mentioned regions. The discussion of all these topics and their different aspects will be the target of this gathering.
Academics of any educational and professional level (MA, PhD, Post-Doc and beyond) are invited to submit papers and panel proposals relating to all aspects of linguistics and ethnography of Anatolia-Caucasus-Iran, including:
