Conference description
In accordance with the tradition of conferences held in 1990-2022 in Moscow and St. Petersburg, the conference seeks to examine parallelism in the morphosyntactic and semantic structures of the languages of the Far East, Southeast Asia, and West Africa, which cannot be explained by any genealogical affinity of languages, nor by areal factors. We welcome proposals for studies that are language-specific or focus on typology.
Presentations should be 30 minutes in length (20 min + 10 min discussion).
