Athens Institute for Education and Research (ATINER) seeks papers for 6th Annual International Conference on Mediterranean Studies, Athens, Greece. This conference bring together scholars, researchers and students from all areas of Mediterranean Studies, such as history, arts, archaeology, philosophy, culture, sociology, politics, international relations, economics, business, sports, environment and ecology, etc.
The objective of this mini-conference is to bring together scholars from countries across the globe to discuss research developments in Mediterranean Language Studies. Topics of interest: New developments and insights into Language Planning and Language Policy in the region; the role of Human Language Technologies (HLT) in the processing of Mediterranean languages; the Synchronic and Diachronic Comparison of Linguistic Types of languages in this region; Literary Analyses; Comparative Literature Studies; Perspectives on the intercontinental histories of the Mediterranean Languages and their Literatures. The nature of the coexistence of extremely diverse language communities, and the historical linguistic expansions that have taken place in this region, continue to form the basis for interesting topics of investigation. It is believed that research, which is currently being carried out on linguistic and literary studies in this region, warrants special sessions at the Conference on Mediterranean Studies.
The registration fee is €300 (euro), covering access to all sessions, two lunches, the official dinner of the conference (Greek Night), coffee breaks and conference material. Special arrangements will be made with a local luxury hotel for a limited number of rooms at a special conference rate. In addition, a number of social events will be organized: A Greek night of entertainment with dinner (the official dinner of the conference), an archaeological tour (urban walk) of Athens, a special one-day cruise in the Greek islands, and a one-day visit to Delphi. Details of the social program are available at website.
