Course Catalog Description:: Historical change in phonology, syntax, semantics, and lexicon. Linguistic reconstruction. Genetic relationship among languages.
Class Description:: In this course, we study the phenomenon of language change. Languages change in all of the dimensions by which languages differ in general: sound structure, morphological compositions, syntactic structure, lexical meaning, and others. We learn the patterns which language change tends to exhibit, and what the similarities and differences among related languages (languages which descend from a common ancestor) can tell us about how languages have changed since the distant past. Students will compete weekly assignments analyzing language change data, and complete a midterm exam and a final research paper.
