- Workshop summary
Eastern Anatolia is roughly considered to be the region of Turkey eastward of the town of Sivas, but it also includes neighbouring regions of Syria, Iraq and Iran. The largest languages spoken here include a number of Turkic languages and dialects, Kurmanji Kurdish, Zazaki,several varieties of Neo-Aramaic, several varieties of Arabic, various Armenian dialects (up to 1915), and Laz (Kartvelian) in the Black Sea region. For at least a thousand years, Turkic, Semitic and Iranian languages co-existed in the region, but since the founding of the Turkish Republic in 1928, state policies of Turkification have bleached much of the colour out of the traditional multi-lingual mosaic. Nevertheless, a considerable body of data has been compiled for many of the varieties of the region, and there is considerable scope for further field work, either in situ or with diaspora speakers in Europe and in Turkey’s large cities. This workshop focuses on language contact between the various languages of the region, with a special focus on Kurdish.
Overview of course content
We will begin with an overview of the languages, and a guided tour of available sources. We willthen discuss fieldwork methodologies, local specifics that are relevant for field workers, and briefly go into recording and annotation techniques. We will then proceed to a critical assessment of the theory and methodology of contact linguistics, and their application to the Anatolian setting (questionnaires, quantitative approaches etc.). The last three sessions will be taken up with three case-studies from morphosyntax
and their regional distribution, based on data that are currently available:
− Post-predicate arguments in OV languages
− The expression of experiencers
− Copular constructions
Participants are invited to contribute from their own work, or to suggest additional topics for consideration; the course can be arranged quite flexibly to accommodate particular interests, as long as these are made known to the instructor at least 6 weeks prior to the workshop.
Knowledge of at least one of the major language groups would be an advantage, but is not a prerequisite. Participants who wish to make a presentation at the end of the Summer School will have the opportunity to discuss data and methodology during the workshop, and in the second week.
Literature and data-sets will be made available for the workshop by May, and participants are expected to prepare themselves prior to the workshop.
