We are enormously excited to announce that the 7th International Conference on Kurdish Linguistics (ICKL-7) will be hosted in-person by the Department of General Linguistics at the University of Bamberg (Germany) on August 28-29, 2025.
The ICKL is a biennial conference serving as a vibrant platform for scholarly exchange among linguists working on any aspect of Kurdish, including the interactions with its neighboring languages. We welcome contributions which address these issues from the perspectives of various subdomains of linguistics, such as sociolinguistics, descriptive and typologically-oriented analyses of phonology and morphosyntax, grammaticalization and historical development, formal approaches to the grammar, pragmatics, language acquisition, language contact, and corpus linguistics. ICKL is meant to provide an environment for collaboration, and a space to share ideas big or small.
Keynote Speakers
Prof. Dr. Katharina Brizić
