Call for papers

Conference on the Languages of the Caucasus
December 07-09, 2007

The Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, 
Germany, will host a conference on the Languages of the Caucasus on 
December 07-09, 2007 (Fri-Sun). Those interested in participating are 
asked to submit abstracts for papers lasting 30 minutes (plus 10 
minutes discussion). Papers may relate to any language or languages 
spoken in the Caucasus. A particular emphasis of the conference will 
be areal linguistic features, so papers relating to this topic will 
be particularly welcome, although papers on all aspects of languages 
of the Caucasus are sought.

The languages of the conference will be English and Russian, and 
abstracts may be submitted in either language. Abstracts should be 
sent to Bernard Comrie or Jasmine Dum-Tragut (for addresses, see 
below), preferably as e-mail attachments in pdf format; electronic 
versions in doc or rtf format must use Unicode for any special 
symbols; hard copies may also be sent by regular mail. Abstracts 
should not exceed two pages (including references and examples) and 
should include the title of the presentation, the name of the 
presenter(s), and coordinates for one presenter (e-mail, telephone, 
fax, postal address) to be used for correspondence with the 
conference organizers.

The deadline for submitting abstracts is January 31, 2007. Those 
submitting abstracts will be informed of the program committee's 
decision by March 31, 2007. Some travel funding may be available for 
scholars from the Caucasus whose abstracts are accepted.

Questions should be addressed to one of the conference organizers, 
preferably by e-mail to cauc2007 at eva.mpg.de: Bernard Comrie (Bernard 
Comrie, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Deutscher 
Platz 6, D-04103 Leipzig, Germany) or Jasmine Dum-Tragut (Department 
of Linguistics, University of Salzburg, Muehlbacherhofweg 6, A-5020 
Salzburg, Austria).
