Linguistic Field(s): Typology 

Meeting Description: 

The Transalpine Typology Meeting was first held in Bern in 2009 and then in Pavia in 2010, and in Zurich in 2013. The main aim of the previous meetings was to intensify the contacts and collaboration between students and researchers of linguistic typology on both sides of the Alps. Contributions covered many aspects of linguistic typology, and the friendly and informal atmosphere made these meetings very fruitful in terms of scientific exchange. The 4th TTM in Lyon will seek to continue that tradition.
