The objective of this mini-conference is to bring together scholars from countries across the globe to discuss research developments in Mediterranean Language Studies. Topics of interest: New developments and insights into Language Planning and Language Policy in the region; the role of Human Language Technologies (HLT) in the processing of Mediterranean languages; the Synchronic and Diachronic Comparison of Linguistic Types of languages in this region; Literary Analyses; Comparative Literature Studies; Perspectives on the intercontinental histories of the Mediterranean Languages and their Literatures. The nature of the coexistence of extremely diverse language communities, and the historical linguistic expansions that have taken place in this region, continue to form the basis for interesting topics of investigation. It is believed that research, which is currently being carried out on linguistic and literary studies in this region, warrants special sessions at the Conference on Mediterranean Studies.
