About Tu+

Boylston Hall, Harvard Yard

Tu+ is an annual workshop focusing on all aspects of linguistic research on Turkic languages, languages in contact with Turkic, and those spoken in geographic regions where Turkic languages are.  

Tu+ has been the venue for fruitful discussions and new collaborations on Turkic and languages in contact with Turkic. The first Tu+ was held at UMass Amherst in 2015, and Indiana University, UCLA & USC, NYU & Rutgers University, University of Delaware, University of Toronto, and UConn have carried on this tradition. 

Since 2019, all works presented at Tu+ have been invited to be in a proceedings volume distributed by the Linguistic Society of America. You can access the previous studies presented at Tu+ here.
