<div dir="ltr">UCSB (the University of California Santa Barbara) has a required course in Historical Linguistics for undergrad linguistics majors, and I think everyone appreciates it. All students in our doctoral program are required to know the contents of that course, either from their undergrad or MA preparation, or by taking it after they arrive in Santa Barbara. Then a requirement for our graduate program is another course, called Advanced Language Change, which focuses on the development of grammar of all kinds and, when time permits, other recent developments in the field.<div><br></div><div>Marianne</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jan 25, 2018 at 7:32 AM, Joe Salmons <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jsalmons@wisc.edu" target="_blank">jsalmons@wisc.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Folks,<br>
I wonder how many departments or programs regularly offer specialized courses in historical linguistics, especially listed as such in course catalogs … historical syntax, historical phonology/sound change, historical sociolinguistics, etc. Is it more common to do these as ‘topics’ courses? It’s in part a question about the visibility and profile of historical linguistics in departments and programs.<br>

Thanks,<br>
