Meeting Description:

This workshop is dedicated to the study of contact-induced grammatical changes
and related theoretical implications that involve South Caucasian languages
either as a recipient or as a donor. The workshop specifically focuses on
grammatical change, as cases of lexical borrowing into and out of the South
Caucasian language family are relatively better documented and studied.

We welcome contributions that discuss contact-related influences of the South
Caucasian languages on the grammar of genetically unrelated languages, or
other, unrelated languages on the grammar of the South Caucasian languages.
All contacts are equally interesting to explore, whether language varieties
being in contact with South Caucasian are already extinct (as, for instance,
Middle Persian), spoken by relatively small number of speakers (e.g., Batsbi,
Udi, among others) or are regionally (Russian, Turkish) or globally
influential (English).

We are interested not only in cases of direct contact but also in the cases of
indirect contact, such as the influence of English on modern Georgian or the
influence of Biblical Hebrew on Old Georgian. We also welcome reports that are
based on longitudinal data and address contact phenomena in the speech of
bilinguals exposed to a South Caucasian language in combination with a
language traditionally never having been in contact with any members of the
language family (e.g., Laz-Dutch, Georgian-Japanese, etc. contact phenomena).
