Stony Brook Linguistics is pleased to announce hosting the first North American Conference in Iranian Linguistics (NACIL 1), April 28-30,
2017.
The Iranian language family hosts some of the densest variation in grammatical systems
on the planet. Despite the remarkable scientific potential of the Iranian language
family as a “laboratory” for comparative study, and unlike the situation with nearly
every other major language family, no conference has ever been held in the US specializing
exclusively in languages of the Iranian family. NACIL 1 aims at filling this gap.
