The South Caucasian Chalk Circle-3 (SCCC-3)
Dates: 2-4 October, 2023
Location: Ilia State University
Kakutsa Cholokashvili Avenue 3/5 Tbilisi, Georgia
The first SCCC met in Paris in September 2016 and was followed up by smaller meetings in North America and the second SCCC in Tbilisi in 2018. There was an unfortunate break due to the pandemic, and we are delighted to resume the meetings in person.
Following up on its general theme, SCCC-3 will bring together linguists working on different aspects of the scientific study of language and experts in Georgian and South Caucasian (Kartvelian) languages and will place special emphasis on the morphology and morphosyntax of polypersonal grammatical systems. As in the prior meetings, SCCC will include several tutorials, presentation and poster sessions, to create as much space for informal discussions as possible. In 2023, SCCC will also host tutorials on bilingualism, child language development, and experimental design in linguistic research.
The conference will be held in person, but hybrid options will be considered.
The conference will be continued with Fall School of linguistics 5-9/10 October.
The conference and Fall School will have a big variation of linguistic fields: Kartvelian languages (Georgian, Svan, Laz, Megrelian), Basque, endangered languages, language development, bilingualism, sign languages, neurolinguistics, morphology, phonology, syntax, lexicography, language heritage, dialectology, typology, corpus linguistics and language acquisition.
