At the Historical Linguistics Reading Group at Cambridge, we learn about the diachrony of languages, from both theoretical and methodological standpoints.
We aim to foster an enthusiastic community of historical linguists, and to promote the exploration of diachrony in a friendly environment.
Our Reading Group
Our Reading Group
Cambridge's Historical Linguistics Reading Group meets weekly to discuss readings on a variety of diachronic topics. Occasionally, we also host visiting professors working on historical linguistics, who give talks or lead discussions of their published papers.
This term, we meet on Tuesdays 4-5pm in the Raised Faculty Building Room 146. Our theme this term looks at morphosyntactic change in verbal systems and the Penn Treebank. We will also host an invited talk by Dr Deepthi Gopal (University of Tromsø) on 17 November (Title TBA).
We welcome anyone with an interest in language change, at any stage in their academic career.
You can join our mailing list through the link below, and direct any questions to the organisers at camhistling [at] gmail [dot] com.
We also welcome reading suggestions and expressions of interest for leading sessions - please see our Get Involved page!
