Meeting Description:

The Institute of Modern Greek Studies (M. Triandaphyllidis Foundation),
Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, is organizing the “2nd International
Conference on Language Contact in the Balkans and Asia Minor”, on 8 and 9
November 2019, in Thessaloniki. The conference will investigate language
contact in the Balkans and Asia Minor, with a special focus on the
relationship between Greek and other languages in these regions.

Keynote speakers: professors Lars Jonanson (Universität Mainz) and Petya
Assenova (University of Sofia), leading scholars on issues related to language
contact in the conference’s focus areas. In addition, internationally
acclaimed scholars such as Bernt Brendemoen (Universitetet i Oslo), Éva Á.
Csató Johanson (University of Uppsala), Matthias Kappler (Università
Ca’Foscari, Venezia), Eleni Karantzola (University of Aegean, Rhodos),
Angeliki Ralli (University of Patras), Helmut Schaller (Universität Marburg)
have confirmed their participation in the conference.

In the framework of the Conference a special session will be dedicated to the
Greek-Russian language contacts and a workshop entitled “Modern Greek and the
Greek dialects in the Diaspora” will be included.

As we explained in the Call for Papers of the 1st Conference (2016), our
decision to organize a conference on language contact in the Balkans and Asia
Minor has been motivated by the recognition that research on language contact
in these two regions is usually conducted independently, and without mutually
benefiting from the results and achievements of studies regarding such
phenomena in each of these two regions, despite the fact that these regions
share the same two basic languages (Greek and Turkish) and, to a great extent,
a common historical background. The conference initiated a fertile discussion
between that strand of research whose object of study is language contact in
the Balkans and the corresponding one focusing on Asia Minor. In this respect,
the papers presented at the conference can be classified under three headings:
(a) those focusing on the Balkans, (b) those zeroing in on Asia Minor, and (c)
those whose interest lies in the comparative investigation of these two
regions.

The conference is the fifth one in the series of annual international
conferences for the diachronic and diatopic study of the Greek language
organized by the Institute of Modern Greek Studies, and are alternately
devoted to (a) Greek Etymology (2015, 2018), (b) Language Contact in the
Balkans and Asia Minor (2016), and (c) Koine, koines and the formation of
Modern Greek koine (2017).
