[Histling-l] Specialized course offerings in historical linguistics

[David Goldstein]

Hi Joe,

In Vienna, I regularly taught a course on diachronic syntax as part of the
MA in linguistics. For the Indo-Europeanists, I taught a separate course on
the diachrony of Indo-European syntax.

At UCLA, we have specialized courses in the historical phonology,
historical morphology, and historical syntax of archaic Indo-European.
General diachronic syntax is only taught as a graduate seminar. I am
working on getting a course in phylogenetics approved as part of our
undergraduate curriculum.

Best,
David

Folks,
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.

Thanks,
Joe
