[Histling-l] Specialized course offerings in historical linguistics

[Marianne Mithun]

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.
