Summer Recap: “Endangered Languages in Contact in Isria and Kvarner, Coratia (ELIC)”

As part of Dr. Keith Langston’s NSF grant, this summer some faculty and graduate students collaborated and presented on their project “Endangered Languages in Contact in Istria and Kvarner, Croatia (ELIC)” at two different conferences.
