The Evolution of Asia Minor Greek
Dear friends of Hellenic Studies,
We are delighted to invite you to a lecture by Professor Ioanna Sitaridou (University of Cambridge), organized by the Center for Hellenic Studies at the University of Chicago in collaboration with the Consulate General of Greece in Chicago.
"The Evolution of Asia Minor Greek"
Date: Friday, February 28, 2025 Time: 5:00 PM Location: Kent 120, University of Chicago
Professor Sitaridou is Professor of Spanish and Historical Linguistics at the University of Cambridge, Co-Director of the Cambridge Centre for Greek Studies, and Fellow, Tutor, and Director of Studies in Linguistics and Modern and Medieval Languages at Queens’ College, Cambridge. Her groundbreaking research on historical and dialectal linguistics—particularly on Romeyka, an endangered Greek variety spoken in Turkey—has redefined our understanding of Greek linguistic phylogeny, language contact, and heritage language preservation. Her lecture will explore the evolution of Asia Minor Greek, unraveling the historical and linguistic forces that have shaped this unique variety over time. We look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be a fascinating and deeply engaging lecture, celebrating the richness, resilience, and timeless beauty of the Greek language.
