Historical Linguistics and History of English

Historical Linguistics and History of English


Course Convenor: Dr Marieke Meelen (mm986@cam.ac.uk)

In this Lent term seminar, we will look at a range of current issues in Historical Linguistics and the History of English. We focus on two recent publications in the field: The Cambridge Handbook of Historical Syntax and the handbook on English Historical Linguistics. After the first two introductory lectures, students will each choose their own topics to focus on during the following seminars. Participants will be expected to critically present work in the field and to discuss others' presentations.
