Patras (Greece), 2000, and had its latest instantiation in Chios (Greece),
2009. As opposed to the Romance languages and their dialects, the Modern Greek
dialects are much less well-known among general linguists, yet these dialects
exhibit a bewildering variety of phenomena due to the fact that many of them
have developed in relative isolation or in contact-situations with other
dialects and/or other languages. The aim of MGDLT is to highlight the
importance of the Modern Greek dialects for general linguists, whether they are
interested in phonetics & phonology, morphology & word-formation,
syntax & semantics, pragmatics & discourse analysis, psycho- or
sociolinguistics, historical-comparative or contact linguistics. The Modern
Greek dialects offer a plethora of interesting or even intriguing data which
can be used to test prevailing hypothesis about language structure and language
use, or which can be analyzed in different ways, using different methods and
theories developed in modern linguistics. The organizing committee invites
linguists, both senior and junior, to submit a one-page abstract dealing with
any aspect of Modern Greek dialectology relevant for linguistic theory to </span><span
