Conference on the Languages of the Caucasus<br>
December 07-09, 2007<br>
<br>
The Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig,
Germany, will host a conference on the Languages of the Caucasus on
December 07-09, 2007 (Fri-Sun). Those interested in participating are
asked to submit abstracts for papers lasting 30 minutes (plus 10
minutes discussion). Papers may relate to any language or languages
spoken in the Caucasus. A particular emphasis of the conference will
be areal linguistic features, so papers relating to this topic will be
particularly welcome, although papers on all aspects of languages of
the Caucasus are sought.<br>
<br>
The languages of the conference will be English and Russian, and
abstracts may be submitted in either language. Abstracts should be
sent to Bernard Comrie or Jasmine Dum-Tragut (for addresses, see
below), preferably as e-mail attachments in pdf format; electronic
versions in doc or rtf format must use Unicode for any special
symbols; hard copies may also be sent by regular mail. Abstracts
should not exceed two pages (including references and examples) and
should include the title of the presentation, the name of the
presenter(s), and coordinates for one presenter (e-mail, telephone,
fax, postal address) to be used for correspondence with the conference
organizers.<br>
<br>
The deadline for submitting abstracts is January 31, 2007. Those
submitting abstracts will be informed of the program committee's
decision by March 31, 2007. Some travel funding may be available for
scholars from the Caucasus whose abstracts are accepted.<br>
<br>
Questions should be addressed to one of the conference organizers,
preferably by e-mail to cauc2007@eva.mpg.de: Bernard Comrie (Bernard
Comrie, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Deutscher
Platz 6, D-04103 Leipzig, Germany) or Jasmine Dum-Tragut (Department
of Linguistics, University of Salzburg, Muehlbacherhofweg 6, A-5020
Salzburg, Austria).<br>
