The CauLaGe Summer Program is a collaborative initiative between CNRS (France) and Ilia State University (Georgia). Our primary goals are:

• Introducing Georgian students to formal methods of language description and documentation.

• Providing hands-on fieldwork training on an understudied language for both Georgian and international students.

• Promoting linguistic research on (Tsova-)Tush.

• Building enduring collaborations with Georgian scholars.

The program is designed to provide a comprehensive learning experience through:

• Formal Linguistic Training: Structured morning sessions focused on general linguistic subfields and Tsova-Tush grammar.

• Practical Fieldwork: In the afternoons, students will have the opportunity to engage in hands-on fieldwork with Tsova-Tush speakers, under expert supervision.

• Collaborative Learning: Students will work closely with leading linguists and scholars, forming lasting collaborations that extend beyond the summer program.

This event is associated with the CauLaGe (Caucasian Languages in Georgia) International Research Network.
