The conference *Linguistic Contact in Ancient Greece: Diachrony and
Synchrony / Contacts linguistiques en Grèce ancienne : diachronie et
synchrony *(CoLiGA) will bring together specialists in different ancient
languages and in Ancient Greek dialectology, with a view to combining the
analysis of language contact between Ancient Greek and other languages and
the study of the interrelations of Greek dialectal varieties. The
organizers of this event are confident that a complementary regard will
broaden the horizon of both research fields, and will also open unexplored
paths in the study of two fundamentally parallel phenomena.

The conference will feature the following keynote speakers:

Dan Dana (CNRS / ANHIMA)
Philippa Steele (University of Cambridge)
Olga Tribulato (University “Ca’ Foscari” Venice)
Lucien C. van Beek (Leiden University)

The conference welcomes contributions dealing with inter-dialectal contact
in Ancient Greek and linguistic contact between Greek and other Ancient
languages. Those wishing to participate with a paper (20 minutes followed
by 10 minutes of discussion) are invited to submit their proposals before
Friday, 31 January 2020 at the conference website (
