Proceedings of the Workshop on Turkic Languages in Contact with Turkic

The mission of the Tu+ Proceedings is to publish a wide range of current research in open access format in the field of general linguistics of Turkic languages and languages in contact with Turkic. All subfields of linguistics are represented, including phonology, phonetics, semantics, syntax, sociolinguistics and typology, using theoretical approaches, experimental methods, corpus work and fieldwork. The papers are peer-reviewed, and developed from presentations at the Tu+ annual meeting, held at a different institution each year, which attracts international participation.
