[Histling-l] English Language and Linguistics Research Seminars 2021/2022

[Petros Karatsareas]

Dear colleagues,

I am delighted to announce this year’s English Language and Linguistics Research Seminars at the University of Westminster. This year’s programme (attached) features talks on a diverse and fascinating range of topics: from language learning in late medieval Western Europe to the linguistic style of Boris Johnson, obscene Language in the Oxford English Dictionary, and Vietnamese Pidgin French – and more!

Seminars will take place on Blackboard Collaborate on even-week Wednesdays at 16:00 (UK time). The first seminar for this year is on 6 October, when Sophie Whittle (University of Sheffield) will present a paper on “Investigating the decline of verb-second (V2) in the history of English: what were the factors involved in driving language change?”.

All colleagues are welcome to attend via https://eu.bbcollab.com/guest/676e4080f0df4c5c9150af085853fe6e

Google Chrome is the recommended browser.

If you have technical difficulties before or during seminars, log into https://meet.google.com/gka-ahck-dbm<https://meet.google.com/wwf-dkes-iiw>, and someone will be there to help.

We are looking forward to seeing you there.

With all best wishes,
Petros
