2nd Call for Papers:
 
The Conference is dedicated to historical linguistics of Caucasian languages
and languages spoken in the Caucasus. A special one-day workshop will be held
on imperfective modalities in the languages of the area. Apart from oral
presentations, posters will also be considered. 

All abstracts should be written in English and anonymous (in order to allow
for blind external reviewing), and preferably extensive (up to three pages
including references). Please mention if the presentation may be presented as
a poster. We strongly suggest that abstracts should be based on precise data
and examples properly segmented and glossed.

The general session on historical linguistics welcomes contributions bearing
on any aspect of the grammar of any language spoken in the Caucasus (including
phonology, morphology, syntax and grammatical semantics), as well as
sociolinguistic aspects, provided that they address these issues in diachrony.
Comparison between related languages, including proposal for reconstruction of
proto-languages, are particularly welcome, as well as proposals of
contact-induced change. (Note that abstracts bearing exclusively on
ethnogenesis of the people of the Caucasus do not fall within the scope of
this conference).

The workshop on imperfective modalities in the languages of the Caucasus
invites contributions dealing with morphology, semantics and
grammaticalization of verbal categories of the imperfective domain, including
the discussion of synchronic and diachronic connections between imperfectivity
as an aspectual category and various kinds of modality.

Accepted presentations may be delivered in English, Russian, or French, but
handouts (with glosses) and Powerpoint projections should be in English.

There is no participation fee. Selected participants from the Caucasian
republics and countries may apply for (partial) funding.

The deadline for abstract submission 31 January 2017. 

Each author may be involved in no more than two abstracts, of which no more
than one may be single-authored. These should be sent to the following email
address: caucase.paris.2017 at gmail.com with “Abstract” stated as the email
subject. The following information should be provided in the body of the
e-mail:

- Title of the abstract,
- Author’s or authors’ first and last names, and affiliation(s),
- E-mail address.

The decision of the Organizing Committee on the acceptance/rejection of
submissions will be communicated to the authors no later than 21 February
2017.
