Subject: Re: [Histling-l] Specialized course offerings in historical linguistics

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.
