Meeting Description: 

The Laboratory of Modern Greek Dialects of the University of Patras, the
Laboratory for Greek Dialectology of the Ohio State University
(https://u.osu.edu/greekdialectology/) and the Tsakonian Archives of the
Community of Leonidio (http://www.tsakonianarchives.gr) are pleased to
announce the 9th International Conference on Modern Greek Dialects and
Linguistic Theory (MGDLT9), which will be held on June 4-5, 2021, at the
Conference and Cultural Centre of Leonidio, the capital of Tsakonian land. 

As opposed to other languages (e.g. Romance) and their dialects, Modern Greek
dialects are less known among linguists, yet these dialects exhibit a
bewildering variety of phenomena due to the fact that many of them have
developed in relative isolation (e.g. Tsakonian) or in contact-situations with
other dialects and/or other languages (e.g. Grekanico). Modern Greek dialects
offer a plethora of interesting or even intriguing data which can be used to
test working hypotheses about language structure and language use and can be
analyzed in different ways, by appealing to various methods and theories
developed in modern linguistics. 

The aim of MGDLT is to highlight the importance of Modern Greek dialects for
linguistic theory, promote the study of dialectal variation and contribute to
the preservation of Greek linguistic heritage. In this context, the conference
will host a special theme section on Tsakonian, the only Modern Greek dialect
to originate from the Ancient Greek Doric dialect.

MGDLT9 will be organized online. We shall share the links closer to the dates
of the conference.
