Meeting Description:

The Workshop on Turkic and Languages in Contact with Turkic (TU+) is an annual
workshop bringing together all aspects of linguistic research on Turkic
languages, as well as languages in contact with Turkic and those spoken in
geographic regions where Turkic languages are spoken. TU+ serves as a venue
for work on a wide variety of languages from well-studied varieties to
underrepresented and under-studied languages without a formal venue of their
own. TU+ is meant to provide an environment for collaboration, and a space to
share ideas big or small.

Because of the unpredictability and serious nature of the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic, the TU+6 organizers have decided to host the conference virtually on
a digital video platform. We hope that this removes barriers for presenters
and allows wider participation in this year’s workshop. Still, we are
dedicated to finding creative ways to foster the sense of community and
connectedness that TU+ is known for. 

Invited Speakers:
Balkız Öztürk (Boğaziçi Üniversitesi, İstanbul)
Barış Kabak (Universität Würzburg, Würzburg)

Call for Papers: 

Abstract Submissions are now open for 30 minute talks (20 minutes + 10 minutes

- Submissions are limited to two abstracts maximum per person: one individual

- To ensure anonymity, abstracts should not reveal the identity of the
author(s) in any way, and should not contain excessive references to the

bodies

transcriptions or non-ASCII text, please ensure that all fonts are properly
