This volume is a collection of nine papers by various authors focussing on issues of etymology, historical language contact, morphology and syntax, typological modelling, and folk practices in the Caucasus-Iran-Central Asia area and its immediate vicinity. The volume is a humble token of appreciation offered by the authors to Dr Agnes Korn to honour her continuing support for young researchers during her time in Paris and to highlight her wide array of research interests.

Murad Suleymanov holds a Ph.D. degree (2019) in Linguistics from Université Paris Sciences et Lettres (PSL) – École Pratique des Hautes Études (EPHE). He is the author of A Grammar of Şirvan Tat (Reichert, 2020) as well as of several smaller publications mostly dealing with the Iranian and Turkic languages of the Caucasus. He is currently the administrative manager of the PSL-EPHE-affiliated Institute for Linguistic Heritage and Diversity (ILARA), where he teaches an introductory course in Turkic languages, as well as a lecturer of Azeri at the National Institute for Oriental Languages and Civilisations (INALCO, Paris) and of Judaeo-Tat at the Oxford Centre for Jewish and Hebrew Studies.

He has documented endangered varieties of Tat as part of the IMMOCAL project (2016–2022). Dr Suleymanov’s research interests include language contact, areal typology, variation and language change, language documentation and description, syntax, Iranian languages, Turkic languages, and languages of the Caucasus.<br/><br/>Dorian Pastor is a Ph.D. student in Languages and Literatures at Université Paris Science et Lettres – École Normale Supérieure (Paris), preparing a dissertation entitled Le persan du XXIe siècle : Études de la langue vernaculaire.
