Project description
This project is about Cappadocian, a Greek-Turkish mixed language spoken in Asia Minor until the population exchange between Greece and Turkey (1924). It focuses on the vowel system of the only surviving dialect called Mišótika. The research will shed light on the dynamics of language variation and change in contact situations and it will be an important contribution to the documentation of the last of the Cappadocian dialects.
