Historical Linguistics

This course introduces the type of changes that a language may undergo, at all levels of linguistic structure, and the theoretical frameworks that are available to discuss them. The course also looks at sociolinguistic influences on language change and the consequences of language contact including language convergence, creolisation and language death.

In ²⁰²⁰⁄₂₀₂₁, I am conducting tutorials covering the entire range of the course’s topics.
