29 February 2024: Metin Bağrıaçık (Boğaziçi): Contact with contact or an ode to Ammonians

Abstract

In this meeting, we set a framework for studying contact-induced phenomena. We treat the topic as a non-linear, dynamical system, and talk about the possible variables, linguistic- and extra-linguistic, which ultimately give the contact outcome the shape it has.
