The 5th edition of Tu+, the Workshop on Turkic and languages in contact with Turkic (formerly: Turkish, Turkic and the languages of Turkey), hosted by the University of Delaware Department of Linguistics and Cognitive Science, will take place on February 8-9, 2020 at University of Delaware.

Workshop website: https://sites.udel.edu/tuworkshop5/

Tu+ is an annual conference about all aspects of linguistic research on Turkic languages and languages used in geographical regions where Turkic languages are spoken, with a focus on, but not limited to, underrepresented languages that may not have a venue of their own. The impulse behind Tu+ is to create a collaborative environment to socialize and share ideas, little or big.

Öner Özçelik (Indiana University)
Arsalan Kahnemuyipour (University of Toronto Mississauga)
