The Institute of Oriental Studies, Russian-Armenian University, Yerevan, in cooperation with the Institute of Empirical Linguistics, Goethe University of Frankfurt am Main is organizing the Second Second International Conference Anatolia-The Caucasus-Iran.
The region including Anatolia, the Caucasus and Iran is distinguished by its ethnic, religious, and language diversity. Its specific contact zones have for centuries given birth to numerous syncretic cultural trends, heterodox religious drifts, transformations of identities, etc. Languages spoken by the inhabitants of this vast area belong to different families – Indo-European, Caucasian, Turkic; their continuous interactions have shaped various combinations of linguistic phenomena: substrate-superstrate-adstrate, Sprachbunds, etc.
All the mentioned and related issues will be discussed in the respective sections on history, culture, language and literature, religion, social anthropology and political developments.
Conference Dates: 21-23 June 2022
Conference Venue: Institute of Oriental Studies, Russian-Armenian University, 123 Hovsep Emin St., Yerevan 0051.
