Meeting Description: 

The conference focuses on multilingualism in Western Asia, specifically of the
Kurdish-populated areas of ''Cross-border Kurdistan'' at the convergence of
Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and the neighboring countries of Armenia,
Azerbaijan, and Georgia. In this area, several Indo-European languages are
spoken, some of which include Armenian, Kurdish varieties, and Persian. A
number of non-Indo-European languages (Azeri Turkic, Neo-Aramaic, and Turkish)
and Caucasian languages such as Georgian are also spoken in this region. The
conference aims to initiate a network that investigates contact-induced
language change in this region.
