<p>When I was a postgrad at Manchester, Dr Ricardo Bermudez-Otero
regularly gave lectures on historical linguistics ('Language
Change' for Taught Master's, and a course module called
'Historical Linguistic's' for undergraduates), which were
advertised in course handbooks. Here at York Professor Pino
Longobardi and his colleagues hold a semester-length course on
Comparative-Historical Linguistics for undergraduates, and there are also
courses on the History and Sociolinguistics of English. Also, at Oxford
and Manchester (and I presume at Cambridge), there are regular
Indo-European linguistics courses that survey all the major theories in
traditional comparative-historical linguistics. </p><p>Keith <br

/>><br />><br />><br />> Our English section offers courses in
English historical linguistics as<br />> part of the regular curriculum
for students in the 2nd year and the 4th<br />> year of our 5-year
master's programme. It is mandatory for our students<br />> to
complete a certain number of courses. They choose freely from among<br
/>> those we offer, and we have a rota as far as what courses are on
the menu<br />> in any one semester. We feel it is important to offer
these courses,<br />> although it does happen that no one signs on for
a particular course, in<br />> which case it does not run that
semester. We currently offer Old English,<br />> Middle English, Early
Modern English, and the History of the English<br />> Language as four
different courses. The Old English course includes a bit<br />> of
history, whereas none of the other ones focuses on anything other than<br
/>> language, e.g. the Middle English course is not a course in
Middle<br />> English language and literature. There are more courses
still, which get<br />> activated on demand, e.g. one in Historical
English Synt ax.<br />><br />><br />> Best wishes,<br />><br
