Anotace

Poslední úprava: prof. PhDr. Petr Zemánek, CSc. (30.01.2019)

Language typology has emerged as a major subfield of linguistics in the past two decades, but the great majority
of typological studies have focused exclusively on synchronic data from the present day. However, Indo-
Europeanists, Semitists, and other students of language families with long historical documentation can draw on
diachronic data to address important questions about language change, e.g. which kinds of features or structures
are more stable over time, or more likely to arise through internal vs. external change, or truly “universal” vs.
restricted to certain regions of the world. We will read a selection of recent publications in diachronic typology,
discuss their strengths and weaknesses, and propose questions for further study. Students from other departments
are especially welcome, including classical studies, Ancient Near Eastern studies, and any of the other language
departments.
