South Caucasian Chalk Circle 4

The first SCCC took place in Paris in September 2016 and was followed up with SCCC-2 in 2018 and SCCC-3 in 2023 in Tbilisi. This year, SCCC comes back to Paris for its fourth edition. 

Following up on its general theme, SCCC-4 will bring together linguists working on different aspects of the scientific study of all Caucasian languages with a particular focus on South-Caucasian languages. As in the prior meetings, SCCC will include several tutorials, presentation and poster sessions, to create as much space for (in)formal discussion as possible. 

The conference will be held in person.

The conference is associated with the CauLaGe (Caucasian Languages in Georgia) International Research Network.
