[Histling-l] Specialized course offerings in historical linguistics

[Freek Van de Velde]

Hi Joe,
Here is what I teach/have taught in the realm of historical linguistics at KU Leuven (Dept. of linguistics): 

1. 'Nederlandse taalkunde II', a 8 ECTS (39h) course on external history of Dutch (Ba2): from the emergence of language in our hominin ancestry to 21st century Dutch (incl. history, historical texts (Old, Middle and Early Modern Dutch) ...)

 2. 'Nederlandse taalkunde III', a 4 ECTS (26h) course on internal history of Dutch (Ba3): historical phonology, morphology and syntax from Proto-Indo-European to Present-day Dutch

 3. 'Nederlandse taalkunde: Verandering & variatie', a 6 ECTS (39h): hands-on course on quantitative approaches to morphosyntactic change in Dutch (Ma-level)

 4. 'Diachronic linguistics', a 6 ECTS (26h) course on diachrony, not specifically on Dutch. I have taught this course a couple of years ago, but I now have a research position, with a reduction of my teaching load, and I will not teach this course until 2020 or something.

Courses 1, 2, and 3 are in Dutch. Course 4 is in English, unless all students are Dutch-speaking. Then the course is in Dutch. 

There are other language-specific courses on historical linguistics (for French, German, English and Spanish), but, apart from one historiographic course, no other courses exclusively devoted to non-language-specific historical linguistics, as far as I know.

Best regards,
Freek Van de Velde.
