Research
In the larger framework of the ERC-funded project 'The Linguistic Roots of Europe's Agricultural Transition, the aim of my PhD project is to uncover the exact circumstances under which the Armenian language and its speakers reached their historical location. This will be achieved primarily through a large, comparative study of post-Proto-Indo-European loanwords in Armenian.
