2nd Call for Papers:
International conference on Clause Linkage in Iranian Languages and
Beyond
Venue: Department of Linguistics and Philology, Uppsala University,
Sweden
Dates: August 21–23, 2025

Conference language: English
Organizers:
Carina Jahani and Jaroslava Obrtelová, Department of Linguistics and
Philology, Uppsala University.
The conference is organized within the framework of Jaroslava
Obrtelová’s international postdoc project "Competing Subordinating
Strategies in East Iranic Pamir Languages", financed by the Swedish
Research Council.
Keynote speakers:
Elena Bashir, University of Chicago, USA
Thomas Jügel, University of Bochum, Germany
László Károly, Uppsala University, Sweden
Call for Papers:
Clause linkage in Iranian languages is a fascinating topic. It
includes often seemingly inconsistent systems of clause linking
strategies with competing right and left branching patterns, sometimes
allowing for several interpretations. We welcome papers that address
clause linking in Old, Middle, and New Iranian languages and/or in
languages from language families that are in contact with Iranian,
e.g. Turkic, Semitic, and Indo-Aryan languages. The presentations can
take a syntactic, semantic and/or pragmatic approach. They should be
30 minutes long (20 minutes for the presentation and 10 minutes for
questions and comments).
Please submit your abstract by March 31, 2025, to
clauselinkage at lingfil.uu.se
The abstract should be 2–3 A4 pages (approximately 3000–4000
characters) and include a presentation of the research question and
the method and material used in the study, as well as some language
data and a list of references. Please send the abstract as two PDF
files, one file with the author’s name (authors’ names) and e-mail
address(es), and one anonymous file. Also indicate who is the
corresponding author.
Notification of acceptance by April 25, 2025.
