Dear all,

within our IE program in Jena, practically all courses are on historical 
linguistics. Most courses focus on specific languages or branches of IE 
but we also have dedicated courses on morphology, syntax and 
semantics/pragmatics, and on theories of language change. Ou English 
department also offers a course "Principles of language change" anf the 
German linguistics department offers a module "Diachrone germanistische 
Sprachwissenschaft". Otherwise, most courses do not have "historical" or 
"change" in their titles, as far as I know.

Best,

Martin
