Meeting Description:

he first international conference organized by the European network on
linguistics and languages of the Anatolia-Caucasus-Iran-Mesopotamia area
(LACIM) will be held in Paris from 16 to 18 November, 2022.
LACIM is a European network of linguists engaged in research on the languages
of Anatolia, the Caucasus, Iran and Mesopotamia. We are primarily interested
in the interplay of contact and heritage that has shaped the region's current
linguistic ecology, through millennia of interaction. As such, our research
program transcends the boundaries of the different language families that are
present in the region and pursues an interdisciplinary approach.

LACIM has developed from workshops held at the Inalco / Labex EFL in Paris in
2018 and 2019. The network became operational in 2020 with various activities:

The launching of  the LACIM website https://lacim.net and its mailing list.

A monthly webinar in 2020-2021, including 6 talks, and to be continued in 2022
(see: https://en.lacim.net/webinaire-home).

Online courses with lecture series on various languages of the area, granted
with ECTS credits in a set of European universities. 
(see: https://spw.uni-goettingen.de/projects/lacim/).

The conference is the landmark event of the network. It will take place on a
biennial basis, and will include a plenary session as well as thematic
workshops. Workshops can focus on the whole area or a part of it. Workshops on
a specific language/family may nevertheless be accepted, provided they address
a research question that is typologically/theoretically relevant for the area.

Call for Papers:

Plenary Session: call for papers
We invite abstracts that address various issues from all areas of linguistics
and adopt different approaches (typological, formal, experimental,
usage-based, etc.).

examples but not references. At the top of the abstract, please include (1)
the abstract title and (2) three or four keywords describing the topics of the
